I've really been struggling with the Lantus and exercise mix. When I first started out, I did okay with a few lows here and there (nothing out of the ordinary for me). But as I added in new and different work outs and upped my intensity, I'm struggling to keep my blood sugars stable before, during, and after exercise.
