[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 2284366, member: 429870"] That sounds a good idea. Dr Bernstein says that insulin resistance is higher in the morning, so it's best to eat fewer carbs for breakfast than later in the day, and postpone exercise too, as that can also raise bg. However, this all seems to me very much down to the individual. Personally I seem to be less able to tolerate carbs in the evening and all exercise risks raising my bg, whatever the timing. Others find exercise lowers bg. Some do well fasting, others (like me) seem to experience fasting as yet another stress which raises bg. You are an experiment of one! I agree with Jo, you will also need to research snacks that are convenient but not too carby. Well done exercising with a PT, especially in these difficult times. Even if, like me, you find some exercise raises your bg in the short term, it should improve it in the long term. BTW disturbed sleep can also raise bg. Any stress or fatigue and your nanny liver is likely to give you a nice big shot of glucose to help you cope. [/QUOTE]
