Hi everyone, I was wondering if exercise will kick me out of ketosis? I notice that whenever I do weight lifting or jogging my blood sugars will rise after my workout. I've been on a ketogenic diet for about a month now and since I get these blood sugar spikes after exercise will that kick me out of ketosis? (my blood sugar read 8.6 after light exercise today) Since I do a lot of strength training 3 times a week, does that mean I have high levels of lactic acid? could it be cortisol levels going up that might be causing this? I also fast for 21 hours. I eat breakfast at 9AM and get in my second meal before 12PM. I'm also at a calorie deficit that should help me lose about 2 pounds a week. My goal is to become fat adapted with the ketogenic diet, but if my sugars are elevated then I'm not sure if I'm progressing or not. My glucose meter lit up green when it showed 8.6, but to me that a little high as I like to keep my sugars between 4-7. I am a type 2 diabetic and any advice would be greatly appreciated
