[QUOTE="miahara, post: 1618929, member: 256148"] Can exercise create short term spikes in BG, before lowering it? My normal average pre-lunch BG is around 6.6mmol and seldom above 6.7. Today after my LCHF breakfast I went out on a 22 mile bike ride – a fairly hard one involving some serious hill ascents. When I got home I thought I’d test my BG to see how the exercise had lowered it, but much to my surprise it was 7.1. I think my maximum ever has been about 6.9 before lunch. I ate about 45 minutes later – a low carb lunch of celery soup and a couple of thick streaky pork slices. Two hours later I tested expecting my BG to show its normal small rise but to my great surprise it had fallen to 5.7, my ‘normal’ post-prandial BG is in in the 6s. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
