[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 1751331, member: 323454"] Hello all. Am a bit late posting today. Had a bout of pretty bad migraines last night until 6 a.m.(work stress related, but fortunately extremely rare for me) and slept in today. Blood sugars were 4.8 upon getting up at 11 a.m. [USER=193228]@heavyd[/USER] and [USER=193971]@ianpspurs[/USER] -- I observe the same thing, when I exercise (usually quite strenuous cardio), my blood sugars go up by about 2 mmol. They then slowly come down within the next two hours to pre-exercise levels. A year ago, they dropped more significantly -- sometimes into the 3s after about 1 hour, but this doesn't happen any longer. Maybe because my muscles now primarily use ketones. It does help with insulin sensitivity though and I tend to see lower numbers in general, so probably worth keeping up. [USER=114217]@Ymdawd[/USER] -- great low fasting levels today.
