What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

As you are not on sulfonylureas it is very unlikely you would have a hypo at 4.1, so unless you are shaky you can exercise fasted.

To be honest I don't feel quite right when in the low fours. Not hypo symptoms but I can always tell, slight headache and a feeling of being anxious.

You are probably right that I probably will not go hypo if exercising as I am only on metformin but I probably will rebound and go high due to liver releasing glucose to keep my levels up. The worry is that I may overshoot. I prefer to have some small quantity of food to keep my liver from doing that.

Watermelon is lovely BUT it also has high sugar levels. Sends my BG sky high
I like them when they are not overly ripe/sweet and I don't have them often. I had some today because I was at 4,1 and was about to embark on a 5km walk. At the end of it I was at 5.5 and back down to 5. 0 an hour later (2hours after consumption of the watermelon). For me, on this occasion it was a success I would say.
