Why do we ask you to avoid exercising during fasting periods?

Exercise can impact your blood sugar levels. It's best to avoid exercise during fasting periods so we can assess your blood sugar response to the test muffins alone, without exercise playing a role.

What counts as exercise during fasting periods?

We class exercise as any activity that significantly raises your heart rate for an extended time. For example, going for a short walk at a leisurely pace is completely fine, but walking at a quick pace for more than 30 minutes would likely raise your heart rate higher than we'd want.

I exercised during my fasting period. What should I do?
