Tc99, et al.,

There is a lot of technology out there that can assist, but a "training buddy" could make all the difference for you. Somebody you can trust who will make sure that you don't over-do and will even make you test during a workout session can make a huge differenece.

While the science of medicine can assist you, only by learning the artistry of your own body can you make an effective program of diet and exercise work to maintain your BG levels. Since I'm neither on medication nor insulin I don't have to worry about Hypo-events while exercising but I have tracked my BG levels before, during and after cycling on the roads. Generally because of the intensity of the effort my BG always goes up following an intense session but goes down after a recovery period. I also get that lovely glucose uptake by the muscles following training that keeps me in check.
