  • @Ultramum thank you, I read the comments in the thread you posted and found it helpful. Am running again with the running group tomorrow evening (when I say running, I use the term loosely, lol)
    @Ultramum thank you. I haven't got the hang of this forum, so don't know how to open up my question to a general group response.
    Hi @Ultramum Having got my HbA1 down to 42, I am down to one metformin per day, am worried it will go up without the metformin, so have joined a beginners running club
    have just done today's run and my BG at 12:30 was 6.8 and at 13:50 after the. Run was 8.2 ! I did not eat before the run, so have you any idea if this is normal? Maybe other T2s could answer too. Am confused as I thought it would really go down

    It's something to do with the insulin resistance from what I can remember ... when we exercise the cells want more energy and send a shout out to the liver - it converst some glucagon to glucose and sends it out in the bloodstream.

    Because of the insulin resisistance the tissues can't make use of the extra glucose and are still sending messages back to the liver saying "where's my glucose" so it sends some more ... or something along those lines. It's a similar thing to the dawn phenomenon.

    I hope that helps - as I say you may want to see if others have any ideas by posting this in a thread in the main forum as this just seems to be on my profile
