[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1983323, member: 365308"] Hi 2 things are most likely here and they are nothing to do wth food: Glucose spikes can occur when you are exercising intensely as your body responds to the muscles' need for fuel. With less intense exercise, the muscles use the glucose (glycogen) they have stored so this is a great way to reduce blood glucose after a meal. High intensity is also good though for fat loss and cardio fitness and the blood sugar spike should not last long as your insulin will act to get the fuel from the blood into the muscles during and after the session. Re overnight, many diabetics get a spike in insulin called the Dawn Phenonmenom wherein your hormones react to the dawn and encourage a rise in blood sugars. I think this glucose is released by the liver but I stand to be corrected. Again it is not necessarily a problem but if this is you, I'd definitely stick to LCHF for breakfast and beyond and keep reducing your insulin resistance. I believe the drugs you are taking reduce the production of glucose from the liver. If your HBA1c s are reducing this is the best available indicator that overall you are achieving this such that you won't need to increase the drugs. [/QUOTE]
