I take Lantus SoloStar which works for 24 hours.
Since I've just started riding, I've noticed an increase of around 5 to 10 points of blood sugar. Most of my testing has been while working on my rowing machine. On it, my b.s. would rise anywhere between 3 and 20 points. Strange, but that's what happens. Don't know why the difference.

I don't know, but it seems my pancreas doesn't produce/inject insulin at all, hence the rise in b.s. whenever I'm active.
I take the small amount of lantus just to have insulin in my body to work with the b.s.

I just do short trips of road riding.
