[QUOTE="mikey, post: 102515, member: 22498"] Hi Ron, I'm at a similar stage with this. I walk for 45 minutes first thing every morning (5 am) and I found that my fasting BG would be 4.8 to 5.2 but after my walk it would be as high as 7. After a few visits to this forum I started eating some fruit before going out, usually an apple which takes my BG up to about 5.8 or 6. I also drink a pint of water. Since I started doing this I find my BG has fallen after my walk and it rises less after breakfast too. I don't know if this would work for everyone but it may be worth a try. I used to box and we were always advised to do our roadwork before breakfast as it was believed to burn more fat. I still think this is true but Fergus is spot on with his information. On waking most of our carbohydrate reserves are exhausted and so the energy we are using is coming from our fat stores. Because I am not used to this yet I get a liver dump. Exactly the same thing happens if I go too long without food even if I don't exercise, which to me, reinforces the stress argument. I believe that the apple stops the stress reaction and in turn allows my BG to stabilise. I also believe that too much carbohydrate causes stress but that's for another place on the forum. It doesn't sound like you have any intention of stopping the exercise, which is the most important thing. Regards, Mike. [/QUOTE]
