[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1619038, member: 32394"] Yes. Intense exercise releases adrenalin, which raises blood sugar. This explains the "spike" to 7.1. Exercise activates GLUT4 receptors, with is an alternative route for glucose to get into cells, and burns off glucose in the muscles and liver, meaning any glucose in the blood will be quickly being siphoned away to restock liver and muscles. This explains the lower readings after lunch - the GLUT4 receptors can remain active for hours after exercise. [/QUOTE]
