So my sugars were 5.5 this morning. Decided to help a neighbour and strimmed and mowed their small lawn, took about an hour - no rushing.
Wasn’t feeling so great so tested and had a reading of 10.2! Retested and got 8.7 - better but still quite raised.
Tested again an hour later and had 7.8.
What do people think is going on? Is it just an indication of how unfit I am? Or, that I’d let myself get dehydrated? I mean the normal advice is that exercise lowers your levels as the muscles use up the available glucose. On this evidence I’d be better continuing as a couch potato!
