Light headed and tired

[Highlandbear]

Hi All been on the low carb for a while all going well had in effect reversed it until recently BS started to rise , max 10.4 in morning, thing is as soon as I start to do any exercise I get light headed and my legs get wobbly, its really weird I am fairly rigid in my diet did not overdue anything over festive period , only drink red wine, did read elsewhere on the forum red wine good to keep levels down which does appear to be correct I am very much an outdoor kind of guy and this is crushing me

What are your BS levels like before you start to exercise and what is it when you are forced to stop.

 

[Highlandbear]

Normally around the 8 mark depending on level of activity can drop to 6.4 ish

Are you eating before you exercise?

 

[Highlandbear]

Yep have my pseudo porridge

Without knowing what pseudo porridge is nor how intense /long your exercise program, see if the attached link provides any insight. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/type2-diabetes.html

What is pseudo porridge? This used to happen to me when I was having a hypo. After going off track for more than a year I now find I get the same symptoms but my blood sugar isn't really that low so it could be a false hypo as your body is used to your BS being in the higher range. Also porridge might not be the best thing to be eating for breakfast.
