I do HIIT training which I enjoy. I always do it with at least a 12 hour fast usually longer. My fasting blood sugar is usually 120 or less (working on that) my blood sugar repeatedly spikes to above 170. Am trying to hold back my maximum heart rate to reduce the effect. My understanding is I am creating a fight or flight response releasing cortisol and adrenaline then causing a liver dump. The spike settles out a couple of hours later but does effect my daily BS average on my CGM. Is my liver enlarged? Do I need to give up HIIT and strength training? Do I need to take some carbs before?
Thanks in advance.
