[QUOTE="Brendan_M, post: 2048515, member: 503982"] I would definitely push for test strips. Always good to know what your blood sugar is doing before/after eating certain foods/exercising.. especially if you're new to this. It will help you avoid foods that cause spikes. For me even a handful of blueberries caused a spike, but raspberries had little effect. If your bg is high half the time and low the other half your A1C may look fine but its not ideal. I would think you're fine to exercise on an empty stomach but it will be hard for you to know without checking your blood sugar. I would have least be having a source of protein within 2 hours of weight training [/QUOTE]
