Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted Account" data-source="post: 1671528">Without looking at porridge and exercise in isolation, it is difficult to confirm whether the spike is due to the porridge, the exercise or the combination ... or even a (slightly later than usual) dawn phenomenon.In your position, I would do a bit of experimenting - try porridge at the weekend without the cycle ride and see what the impact is. - try a protein breakfast before cycling and see what the impact is - try (if you can) having your porridge once you get to work and see what the impact is- try (if possible) having a break between eating your porridge and getting on your bike- try taking you insulin earlier and having a snack when you get to work to avoid the hypoThe problem may be the porridge on its own, it may be the stress of the cycling through London traffic or it may be something else (like dawn phenomenon).Unfortunately, things are not consistent so keep testing - you may find in a few months that you get faster at cycling and your BG drops rather than rises.</blockquote>
