sex – seriously
Question:
I was waiting for a good time to post this ( see # 16 ) Rules that guys wished women knew
And I’m glad you found that good time — what a riot! Thanks! Wendy
Response:
Does anyone find that their BG’s rise after sex? Mine do. I can start with a normal BG (yes, I do check just in case) and afterwards I jump 50 – 100 points. Exactly the opposite for me. My sugars drop faster than my pants do and usually WHILE we’re "participating" and if not than ALWAYS after.
So, um, do you, uh, measure your blood sugar during sex? Doesn’t that, like, spoil the moment? Gwen

I have a theory. Do you call your partner ‘honey’, ’sugar’, ’sweety’ etc? May I suggest ‘aspertame’, ’splenda’ and other names that are less likely to raise your blood glucose. I called my wife aspertame and she slugged me – no sex for a week but good BG readings. 8-). …Rob

I tried that one night. Called my wife Stevia in a fit of passion. She slapped me so hard it hasn’t been that way since.

It’s very easy to feel the drop, particularly when it hits the low 30’s, and if it’s a "quickie" it happens during the first hour. Sometimes though I take it easy and don’t rush it, which means I have to occasionally stop for a cup o’ tea and a fag, so I take that opportunity to test. Simple when you know how. Doesn’t that, like, spoil the moment?
MOMENT??? Don’t you mean NIGHT??

Call her Prudy next time, and you’ll have a month or so of good BG readings (If you’re married to Beanie, it could even be the perfect cure:-) Beav

I know how to count carbs but how do you cover that??? I thought exercise lowered your BG’s. Is there a 1500 rule for it or something? Good thing I don’t get it too often! Just wondering. — Frank
Response:
I think you’re onto something. If it’s true that the postpubescent/premenopausal male actually thinks about sex 16-20 times a day, and that sex is really all in your head anyway, maybe we have a solution to BGs superior to UltraLente. Now if only the ADA can convince the required number of lab rats…..

<snip In a non-diabetic this would probably mean an energy burst, but for us it just means higher blood sugars.
If that’s true, then why do men fall asleep after sex? — Elaine T2 11/98 diet & exercise For e-mail remove spamfree

I eat a Mars bar before getting down to it, although I don’t suppose that’d be a good thing for you to try. I thought exercise lowered your BG’s. Is there a 1500 rule for it or something? Good thing I don’t get it too often!
1500 isn’t too often?? I’m lucky if I reach 3, I’m happy with 2, but usually have to settle for 1 and a cup of cocoa Beav
Response:
Anger can raise my BG 40 points while fasting. If you’re sexually aroused, you’re spilling neurotransmitters and steroid-like hormones into your bloodstream. It’s not surprising that they can overpower the benefits of exercise. Exercise without sexual arousal is different. It’s sensible for the body to increase blood sugar during these times, but it’s easier to raise a diabetic’s blood sugar than to lower it. -MT

Boredom! Beav
Response:
Muscles relese glycogen into blood stream and bg levels will rise if there is not enough insulin to cover it. Also adrenalin plays a role. You may also be having some emotional stress that would raise your level. In any event if I were you I would wait and test after sex and adjust the level. I would rather worry about a high then a possible interruption to sex!

But then men should fall asleep during sex. Afterwards the blood comes puring back.

Because most men are severely deprived of sleep. Sex releases tension which is what basically keeps sleep deprived people awake. I’m suprised most women don’t also fall asleep right after sex ( for the same reason).
Response:
Depends on whether the woman had an orgasm to achieve the "tension release." All too often guys don’t pay attention and women fake it, so no tension release, no urge to sleep. — Nanuq of the North, T2, 6 years, glucophage, diet & (not enough) exercise Remove grzl to send email: I’m only a grizzly when my bgs are low! – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – <snip In a non-diabetic this would probably mean an energy burst, but for us it just means higher blood sugars.

The 1500 rule relates to insulin sensitivity. It tells how much your BG is likely to fall in mg/dl for each unit of insulin. fall=1500/insulin per day. If you take 40 units per day that would be 1500/40 or about 38 mg/dl.

I was waiting for a good time to post this ( see # 16 ) Rules that guys wished women knew 1. If you think you’re fat, you probably are. Don’t ask us. 2. Learn to work the toilet seat; if it’s up put it down. 3. Don’t cut your hair. Ever. 4. Sometimes, he’s not thinking about you. Live with it. 5. Get rid of your cat. 6. Sunday = Sports. 7. Anything you wear is fine. Really. 8. You have enough clothes. 9. You have too many shoes. 10. Crying is blackmail. 11. Ask for what you want. Subtle hints don’t work. 12. Mark anniversaries on a calendar. 13. Yes, peeing standing up is more difficult than peeing from point blank range. We’re bound to miss sometimes. 14. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers. 15. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor. 16. Don’t fake it. We’d rather be ineffective than deceived. 17. Anything we said 6 or 8 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. 18. If you don’t dress like the Victoria’s Secret girls, don’t expect us to act like soap opera guys. 19. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad and angry, we meant the other way. 20. Let us ogle. If we don’t look at other women, how can we know how pretty you are? 21. Don’t rub the lamp if you don’t want the genie to come out. 22.
