Hi
I'm eating an LCHF diet, on Metformin, and have got my glucose levels into a reasonable range, with recent HbA1c at 6%. Each morning my readings (Libre) start off at around 6.0 but rise to around 9.0 before starting to reduce.
I'd like to exercise a bit more, although limited due to arthritis, old injuries and long-term boney and muscular pain but I've noticed that each time I do any activity, either around the house, ie go upstairs, walk into the kitchen etc, my BGs will rise. Also, when I do go out for a short walk around the block, my BGs definitely rise. So, I try to time a walk to be when my BG is at itls lowest, which is usually before a meal but this is not always possible nor convenient, of course.
Does anyone have any ideas / suggestions how I can get around this BG rise, please?
Many thanks
