Does anyone else ride motorbikes? What does it do to your BG?
When ever I have a day out on the bike I find my BG climbs rapidly. For example yesterday my BG was 5.4 before going out, 2 hours on the bike later I pul over to grab a drink, check my BG and its 15.4! I haven't eaten anything for 14 hours and my BG was steady throughout the night.
When I get home after a long ride I am pretty exhausted so would have thought it would bring BG down (I'm always careful not to do corrections when about to go out as don't want to risk a hypo while riding) but it's always the opposite, I'm guessing it's a result of the adrenaline rush?
