I've been on my new routine for about a week and I have noticed my blood glucose being lower and more stable in the mornings. It had been running anywhere from 107 to mid 120's first thing in the morning. Now I'm consistently in the mid 90's. So far this has worked out well.
I also had my first issue with low blood sugar yesterday when I measured before working out. I think I went too long without eating and my blood glucose was 70. I ate some almond butter which raised it to 85. Still not enough of a safety margin for me to do my HIIT. I took 2 glucose tablets prior to working out which gave me a reading of 100. I have to say the shot of sugar made my workout go much better and I had a higher intensity than usual.
I'm still not sure why adding more carbs to my diet would cause this reaction by my body. The only medication I'm on for my diabetes is Metformin which is not supposed to cause low blood sugar. It could be just the diet with the calorie restriction I have. I may need to rethink the plan and reduce my deficit.
Tonight should be another great workout with the trainer focusing on core. Should be fun!
