My friend has diabetes and her blood sugar is higher after weight training/yoga than it was before! Is this possible? I thought the yoga would burn sugar...

Given that she has diabetes, this is perfectly understandable. In most cases of diabetes the body is unable to regulate sugar correctly. Keeping it as basic as possible, sugar within the blood is either too numerous or too little in diabetics. This is regulated by the body via various hormones that are released into the blood stream which release/store sugar as it is needed. If your friend suffers from diabetes, it means that as she exercises her body is, quite correctly, releasing stored sugar into her blood stream. However, because she is diabetic, upon finishing her exercise the body is not metabolising this sugar back into a storable form. As such it lingers in the blood stream for longer. This shouldn't cause immediate problems, but it is advisable to generally be careful with vigorous exercise if you happen to be diabetic.

I,m not sure.but it shouldn if she is eating right. certain foods that can be eaten when you are a diabetic. make sure she is eating healthy and non hight calorie foods and take it easy. walking is the best exercise for people with diabetics any way. so if she workin out too much it can make her sugar go up some what.tell her don';t over do it. also her blood pressure can go up too.if she is not careful.just speaking from experiences.

There are many things you can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve the life of a Type I diabetic.
Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:
Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate
If you are serious about not being falling victim to diabetes needlessly, get a copy of "One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject.
It helped me, and my brother, who was dying. We lead mostly normal lives now. Best of luck.

No, the levels go down after any type of exercise. Something wrong here, tell her to consult her diabetes nurse, or ring the diabetes centre

Yes. She has too little insulin in her to facilitate the transfer of sugar from her blood into her muscle cells. Hence, the bg continues to rise.
For energy, her body will burn fat directly. If she has no fat, than it will burn muscle directly. Too little insulin and continued physical activity leads to ketoacidosis.

Her stored sugar is perhaps released with exercise. Ask a doctor.

Quick question ... does your friend eat a snack before the exercise? If so, perhaps the snack is too large.
She should talk to her endocronologist.
