Hi All,
I've asked a variant of this question before but I'm still confused- slow learner I guess.
I understand that the dawn phenomena causes an increase in the BSL after you wake up. I think I'm correct that this is produced by the liver. Does this come from stored glucose? If so does this mean that over a while the amount stored becomes less (following a LCHF diet) and so possibly lessens the insulin resistance?
If you then exercise before breakfast the BSLs increase- is this also from the previously stored glucose? does this increased level increase the risk of diabetes complications- what level is problematic- I went up to 5.9 after a short walk- not high intensive- is that a problem?
should I be eating before exercising? I did have breakfast before the walk but threw up most of it so probably hadn't had much to eat.
Would appreciate any advice. Have had a plantar fasciitis so just getting back to walking- am afraid of doing the cross trainer in case that raises my blood sugar levels even higher.
