Something I have been meaning to ask for a while.
I take a brisk power-walk almost every morning for around 45-50 minutes, sometimes longer. I often see fasting BG levels a hour or so later having not eaten since 15hrs previously, around the 6.5 to 7.2 mark, sometimes even higher.
On a rare day that I didn't exercise but went the morning fasting and otherwise relaxed I have seen readings in the region of 5.2.
Is this normal and my Liver doing what it should?
The benefits of exercise are tangible but it feels like this might be holding my BG at a higher level than if I don't!
Is there a work-flow test regime established that I could follow for a few days to get a clearer picture of what is happening since I am struggling to see what different foods and fluids specifically do to my BG to be honest.
Been on Low Carb now for 6months and awaiting my next HbA1c test sometime soon to show whether I'm holding my gains (Oct 16 - 100, Jan & Feb 17 - 37).
