Is a workout worth a sports drink splurge?
The answer is probably not. Most sports drinks are full of artificial flavors and preservatives and may actually spike your blood sugar. If you must drink one, a sugar-free version is likely your best bet. But consuming these artificial drinks regularly isn’t recommended.

Consider working out later to avoid a spike
The dawn phenomenon is a natural rise in blood sugar that happens from about 4 am to 8 am and can result in higher levels during morning exercise. The same workout done later in the day is less likely to cause a spike.
