Update
When I started the gym I was concerned about my BG levels going up and down why training as they say strength training can make them rise and cardio training make them drop so I did some research which lead to quite a lot mentioning going to the gym in fasting mode (some can get away with a black coffee i put a dash of milk in mine I getaway with it )as this keeps your levels pretty stable if anything you may get a bit of a rise in levels I’ve been doing this for a couple of weeks and it’s definitely working for me I do strength and cardio and my BG levels stay stable throughout the session
Hope this helps anyone thinking of doing the same
