[QUOTE="Goonergal, post: 2158348, member: 368709"] For me the type of exercise matters in terms of spiking and as I’ve got fitter the spikes have reduced. Weights always push levels up. Less so at the end of the day than the start, but up they go. Similarly playing walking football (more energetic than it sounds) or football involving some running, or doing a long, very fast paced walk, will push levels up. However, there is always a corresponding reduction in BG levels a couple of hours later and over time, my overall BG levels go down a notch as exercise increases and becomes part of my daily routine. Swimming, Pilates and moderate to slow paced walking all reliably bring BG down. I regularly exercise fasted - have completed several long, moderately paced walks (ranging from 15 to 30 miles) fasted without BG rises. Weights when fasting do cause a rise, but not excessively over what might be caused by dawn phenomenon anyway. And for me the positive health benefits - mental and physical - of exercising far outweigh any temporary BG rises. [/QUOTE]
