Pre-diabetes and exercise is making fasting levels higher?!
Question: Pre-diabetes and exercise is making fasting levels higher!?
I was recently advised that I had pre-diabetes!. In the past year, my fasting levels were typically in the high 90s with the highest at 108!. I started an exercise program only 2 weeks ago and now, my first test in the a!.m!. before eating is higher than it was when I wasn't exercising (in the teens)!. Is this something to be expected!? I thought exercise was supposed to do exactly the opposite!?
I do have a small snack at night (crackers and cheese) because it eliminates problems with acid reflux!. I don't see a doctor until Fall!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't do any crackers of any sort at night and also don't worry about the fats at night!.
There is an effect known as Dawn Phenomenon in which the liver at about 2 or 3 am decides that the bod is starving, hasn't been fed in several hours, and signals to dump some stored glucose on the system!. The glucose is at maybe the lowest point at this time, so it gets a dump of stored glucose and the glucose numbers at daylight or a little later are really high!.
I usually have half cup of real ice cream at bedtime!. This is the only thing that takes care of the acid problem and the high fasting glucose numbers!.
Real ice cream has a large percentage of fats and sugars, but these balance each other out, the fats slowing the sugar uptake quite well, and a good protein percentage as well!.
I also like apple slices with cream cheese dip or cheese dip at night as well!. The fats and protein of the cream cheese or cheese work the same way!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

try dropping the crackers for something else sugarless and starchless (celery or something) - the starches in the crackers turn into sugars!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I suggest seeing an endocrinologist!. The sugar stored in your liver could be causing the problem!. You should be seen by a professional!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
