[QUOTE="There is no Spoon, post: 2074153, member: 468755"] Hi Sapien everybody is different and for some the best time to exercise is in the evening. For some people exercise increases there bg levels. You didn't say what your looking to achieve through exercise? [U]If it's just to control bg levels and burn off any excess sugar [/U] Then eating carbs before hand [I]is like overfilling the bath and having to pull the plug out [/I]to let half the water back out. :meh: Yes you have got rid of half the water but the same result would been achieved by [I]putting less water in the bath to begin with[/I]. (water is sugar/carbs for the purpose of this heavy handed analogy.) :sorry: [U]If your looking for weight loss.[/U]:bookworm: Exercise on an empty stomach forces your body to break down fat stores to fuel the muscles, you might find it raises bg levels but that's a good thing as the only place the additional bg can come from is breaking down fat converting it to be used as fuel for the muscles. [I]Using the bath analogy again[/I][COLOR=#ff0000] its like a dripping tap [/COLOR]evidentially it will fill up and overflow if the plug is in [I](eating carbs) [/I]but if the plug is out [I]even though it never looks like it [/I]you have used a bath full of water. :D OK that's it I managed to explain Gluconeogenesis using a bath tub and a leaky tap.:bookworm: ([I]well sort of [/I];)) :bag: [/QUOTE]
