Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bluetit1802" data-source="post: 1434421" data-attributes="member: 94045">Are you saying you exercise in a morning before you eat anything?  For many Type 2s this isn't always a good idea because, as said by others, your liver will provide the glucose you need for the energy required and will most likely produce far too much. Even if you have eaten breakfast first, your liver may still go on producing glucose during strenuous exercise.A fasting reading as soon as you get up is often higher than you went to bed with, again because your liver is filling your blood stream with the glucose needed to start the day. It is perfectly normal. I'm happy that this has never happened to me, but what did happen to me was after getting out of bed and testing, I found my levels rose and stayed raised until almost lunch time. I have managed to stop this by having a coffee with double cream (lots of cream) as soon as I get up and before doing anything else. I then have nothing until lunch time other than a cup of tea mid morning and water. I also find I can't eat any carbs if I do have a breakfast, and have to keep any exercise to a bare minimum until the afternoon. Others have different methods that work for them. It is trial and error to see what works for you.</blockquote>
