Hi there
I wonder if anyone can offer me some advice here. I am a regular exercise goer and until recently not such a regular BG tester, but now I am. That aside, I exercise before work most mornings starting with an acceptable reading of around 8. I do not have breakfast before and do not hypo during. My issue is that then by the time I test post exercise and therefore before breakfast I have readings of above 20. I do not alter my insulin for breakfast because of this and can recover to normal levels almost always by lunch. Is there anything you would suggest I do differently? I'm not overly concerned as it does not make me feel unwell and it may well be because of the adrenalin kicking in (some have said) but these hights will effect my overall HBA1C. Does anyone else have these sort of patterns?
