Hi
I've got a couple of queries about my bs readings and wonder if anyone would be so kind as to offer any advice.
I've only been doing this for a week (tomorrow) so it may be I just have to give it time and try to remember that it's a marathon and not a sprint. (I find this really difficult, once I focus on something, I want it straight away!)
Anyway, a couple of times this week, when I have done exercise before my breakfast, my bs have gone up - roughly 6.5 fasting to 8.8 post run before breakfast. 2 hours after breakfast, it is has come down to either 7.9 or 6.5, depending what I had to eat. Does anyone know what causes this increase on exercising and if there is anything I can do about it?
Also, this morning my fasting bs was 7.4 which is a bit higher than the last few days (they'd been down to the early to mid 6s over the last 3 days.) They were pretty much the same before breakfast and after breakfast were great at 5.4! I was feeling rather pleased with myself until I tested 2 hours later which was before lunch and they'd gone up to 7! What on earth causes that to happen - the only thing I'd eaten in between was a little bit of chicken thigh. Why would my blood sugars rise from 5.4 to 7 when I haven't had anything to eat?!
