[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2370491, member: 6467"] Fasting exercise isn't always best, but if you are in nutritional ketosis then fasting exercise is possible without running out of energy. That is, if you aren't using glucose as your main energy source then you don't need to load up on carbohydrates before and during exercise. I find that exercising before noon amplifies my dawn phenomenon and I have a rise in BG levels. I have put this down to my body producing more glucose to boost energy which my body then doesn't use. I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing; the exercise is certainly good.
