[QUOTE="shadwell, post: 23963, member: 7935"] I need some advice from the long term low-carbers like fergus please! I have been low carbing for a while now with great results but have recently started a regular exercise regime and my BS has started rising instead of falling as I expected it to. I tend to swim first thing in the mornings as this is the only time I have available and have found that post-exercise, my BS is rising to 12 - 14 and only comes down very slowly after 3-4 hours, remaining high for the rest of the day. Is this because I don't have enough carbs to provide the energy and my liver is dumping stored glucose into my bloodstream as fuel? I tend to ear breakfast after my swim. Should I be eating beforehand and if so, do I need to start eating more carbs? I'd appreciate advice as I feel better for exercising but don't want to push up my BS levels. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
