So 6.1 at 6m when I got up, then swam for 30 minutes - it's now 7.7, bit confused ... liver dump?
I get the same. Sometimes a higher increase. I've put in down to cortisol production due to the stress of the exercise. I have to keep calm as much as possible, then if ferocious exercise I have to wind down with calmer strokes and stretches and then get out of the pool. After my calm as possible shower and I test before dressing as our pool is cold but showers and changing rooms are hot. I then get a better sugar result. How about you?

6.9 this morning, higher than I would like. Due to portion control (or lack thereof!) yesterday, even though everything was low(er) carb...

Somewhat better 5.2 today.

The frost has melted and I am actually considering mowing my lawns - they never seem to have stopped growing this winter......

Good morning. 5.2 at 8.30am...5.8 at noon. No sign of any kind of spike from my reduced steroid...this is much more like it.
