kphm,
Exercise will help you get better control over your blood glucose levels. And here are a few ideas.
My advice is to do whatever you
enjoy doing. Just be sure to monitor your blood sugars closely, especially in the beginning. Until you get the hang of it, test before, during and after workouts.
You need to ensure that you have adequate levels of circulating insulin. Because if you run out of insulin, a liver dump will result in high blood sugars after the exercise. As you are a pump, arranging this should be easy.
Don't push yourself too hard during your workouts. If you do, there will be an adrenalin response. And your blood sugar will go up dramatically.
You may need to eat something before workouts so that you don't go low. You will find that weight training reduces your blood sugar more quickly than cardio work. This is because burning fat requires oxygen and anaerobic exercise is fuelled with glucose only. So you may need to sip orange juice, eat glucose tablets, or whatever, to keep your blood sugar up during resistance training.
Hope this helps,
Mark
