Hi, I normally go to HIIT training in the evening time but this week I have to go early in the morning at 6am. I was wondering if I'd be able to do it without eating breakfast before as it might make me feel sick. Anyone know if it's safe to do this ?
 
Hi @aimeeo There's no reason why you can't do it without breakfast on board if you are on multiple daily injections and carb count as you wouldn't have a bolus injection, just do the usual BG check prior to exercise and taking glucose with you in case you go low
