Hi
I have started going to the gym again and getting into my running again. I am eating a balance diet but not easy working nights so meals are all over the place. The issue I am finding is that my bloods are always high atm. I tried the low carb diet but found that caused other issues so not practical to carry on with. feeling like I'm at the start again with no clue what to do. any advice please.
 
Easier said than done but having consistency with timings of meals and exercise helps massively.

I always inject a small amount of insulin before I go to the gym. I go early morning pre breakfast. Exercise releases glucose from the liver so the inlaying injected offsets this.
 
Apologies, I see you are type 2 so probably not injecting.

You should practise low internsity work outs like walking/jogging to begin with.

Eat a lot of protein to fill you up and maintain a low carb diet.
