Hello all,
Pre-diabetic here (I think - still working on the "official" stuff).
Eating LCHF for the most part which works well to keep BG down. My BG does spike quickly/easily with sweet/high carb foods.
Just something I have noticed recently and I've done a bit of research on via Google etc, but in the end, I am still unsure what to do about it (if I can do anything).
I do have a bit of morning syndrome (morning fasting often around 6.0, sometimes 6.5), and I thought bicycling to work may help me get additional exercise and lower BG levels. What I have noticed though is after getting to work (a 30 minute fairly vigourous ride), is that my BG can be as high as 8.0. Also, my leg muscles etc often feel "weak" for some time afterwards....even hours later they still feel a bit weak).
While I read this BG rise can happen with low insulin levels (I thought pre and T2 diabetics had HIGH insulin levels?!?) I am a bit confused. Should I not be triggering this? Should I be eating first (I have been doing this in a fasted state). Not sure what to do.
