[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2578139, member: 527103"] Are you aware of limitations of the Libre? The spike may not be as high as Libre is reporting (it tends to exaggerate highs) and, the sensor is new, it may be less accurate. The effect of exercise on blood sugars is highly dependent on the type of exercise, the exertion from the exercise, the fitness of the person doing it and how their body reacts. For example, one of my exercises is cycling: - If I have a gentle cycle along a flat tow path with my friend, my levels are unaffected - if I go for a race along country roads, my levels drop - if I cycle up a steep hill against the wind on a rainy day, my levels will rise.
