Are there any carbs in fresh air?

Did you have milk in your tea? Or you may be one of those people like myself whose BG's always seem to go up after exercise.

 

I suffer quite badly from FOG (foot on ground) as soon as I surface and one toe hits the deck my blood sugar will start to rise.
Lucky for me I have a pump so can set my basals to stop the problem. Which obviously does't help you.

 

lol yeh I was assuming, it was a late breakfast like mine normally is!

 

Hi. Exercise can cause unpredictable short-term sugar rises. I guess it's the liver trying to do it's job by dumping some glucose?

 

Sorry I edited my reply out as reread your post again. I read it as tested before breakfast then had a cuppa after.

 

I would say that was your liver contributing glucose assuming that the walking exercise would be continuing and you needed more energy. You have to train them you know, but it's like training cats and I haven't got mine under full control yet.

PS especially if you had no breakfast.

 

Well that explains a lot then. No hope for me if my liver is behaving like a cat. I hate cats. I guess it knows that already.

 

In the absence of food your liver will provide the energy you need for the morning ahead, this is where the term 'breakfast' comes from as it is breaking the fast, I'm a type 1 and if I don't eat breakfast my bg levels can be in double figures 2 hours after waking.

 

My BS usually goes up 3 or 4 mmol/l after 50 mins exercise class at the gym.

 

Yes mine goes up after any type of exercise regardless of whether I have eaten or not.

 

I'd be worried if there were carbs in the air because you'd be at an imminent risk of a dust explosion.

 

you went up by 0.4. That's not a lot at all when you allow some wiggle room for meter accuracy / clean hands etc. I think it needs to be put into perspective.

 

My liver thinks that I am on the point of starvation every morning How can I train it to think otherwise

Some people have reduced their DP by having a small snack before bed (a little cheese or some nuts). My DP seemed to go once I habitually had protein for breakfast (eggs, bacon) instead of cereal and toast pre-diagnosis. I guess the body adapts (I was going to say 'learn' although the liver seems to be quite intelligent ...).

 

Hi , strange as it may seam....eat small regular snacks and have a small snack just as you go to bed , this keeps your liver busy and will even things out)

 

Hi,@zand Saw this the other day, and as you don't like cats neither does this lady now.
Hope it does not upset you, Just a good reason to be careful
