[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2609641, member: 527103"] [USER=570715]@Ladynijo[/USER] are you sure it is your swimming causing the rise? Could it be a "Foot on the floor" effect? Our livers release glucose at the start of the day to give us energy to get moving. Some of us see the rise before we get up. This is "Dawn Phenomenon". Others see the rise when they "put their foot on the floor". By exercising without eating you could be tricking your body into thinking it is starving (it is still fasting) so keeps dumping glucose. I have Type 1 so may be slightly different. But I find eating a small amount of carbs (e.g. a small Greek yogurt) will tell my body I am ok and it will stop dumping. It is worth experimenting. You could check to see if the rise happens on a morning when you don't swim. You could try swimming at a different time of the day. You could try a small snack before getting in the pool. [/QUOTE]
