Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

I eat like a bird and a rabbit. Measure it all. Never fbs below 6.3. Mind I had a wonky next one meter.
But I discovered that my 1 hour energetic walk first thing in the morning
without any nourishment whatsoever. On return BS was 8.3. Coffee and wait for 2 hours for breakfast. 50g of. My own muesli, made of nuts, seeds and other low calorie, carb and no sugar stuff. 30g full fat yoghurt, 39 ml ayran, 60g frozen fruit. Never get below 8.5 until a snack(a wee one) about 2.00. Another walk for an hour. We'll managed supper. Daily calorie intake 1500-1600
Calories burnt >1000. Wright loss 3Kg in 3 weeks.
Cannot get below 8 BS
Snack of popcorn and hot non dairy milk. Sleep at BS 9-10.
I figure I need to starve a day, to get lower. My last A1b1c was 60.
Anybody any idea,
I searched to see if exercise put blood sugar up. It appears so on the headline, but read it and it is all about hypos.
GP over the years sent me to 3 dieticians
Might as well have asked the door post. Useless. As for the GPs they seem to know little or nothing about this condition. My sister lives across the sea and is a diabetic nurse or I would know nothing.
Anybody able to solve this problem?
Thank you all, God luck and stay safe.

Hi @Seán mise and welcome to the forum. This is a thread for recording fasting blood sugar statistics only with very little chat. Can I refer you to another couple of threads as more chatty areas which may suit you better:
Here: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/what-was-your-fasting-blood-glucose-with-some-chat.22272/
Or here: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/what-was-your-fasting-blood-glucose-full-on-chat.163627/
If you would like specific advice it might be worth writing your own post in an appropriate sub forum such as Ask a Question or the subforum for your type of diabetes.

Edit for typo

My normal fbs are between 5.3 and 5.7 . If I have a drink the night before they’re about 4.9. According to my meter my average fbs is 5.6 . I eat really low carb mainly meat and cheese with some peppers mushrooms and green beans thrown in
