[QUOTE="LizzieP, post: 74109, member: 12396"] Hi there, I'm not sure I would exercise in the morning on a totally empty stomach. I could be wrong (anyone?) but I think that can cause a rise in blood sugar. Have you thought about having your breakfast before you go to the gym? This can help with the 2 hour post prandial reading. I am usually about 5.5-6 first thing in the morning. I have a piece of wholegrain toast, take my insulin and about half an hour later I do a brisk 3.5 mile walk. My 2 hour number is nearly always the same as my fasting if I do this. If you do your b'fast and excersise this way round, then you will need to experiment with your insuline dose. I find that I need about half my usual amount before embarking on my long march! I think Yipster has the same idea: [/QUOTE]
