Hi
@Adelle0607 My exercise during the weeks follows a similar pattern, I get up and do 30 minutes either on the treadmill or the exercise bike. I don't run I walk very fast - up to 8km/h up an incline of 12%. Then I have breakfast. At lunch time I eat my lunch (I posted a picture of what I have in a different thread) and then will walk to tescos with others for the exercise (that is a 20 min walk) in the evening I get home and eat my main meal (pie and chips last night

) and then will generally do at least 30 more minutes on the treadmill, bike or rowing machine (not so often this later one as it has to be set up and everything moved for it).
However, for the last few weeks I have managed very little due to a tendon issue in my shin and now my back op. Next week hopefully back to it. Funny I think I miss it. I see the spikes and normally I would squash them but now I'm not and they go down within 15 mins. So all seems to be working (crossed fingers for it to stay that way)
As for the response to the glucose. I find that doing exercise before reduces the initial spike. However, targetting the spike and timing it can completely eliminate it but I have, on occasions, got it wrong and not made it any better. The one thing with exercising after you eat is that it is amazing how rapidly you can take a spike from 8 to 5 (literally 5 mins now). of course when you stop it goes back up if you are still digesting so you need to continue for the 20 to 30 mins to keep it flat.
