Took my blood sugar this morning and it was 98 then I exercised for a half hour, took it after and it was 130? Not horrible but still went up a bit. I felt a bit shaky so I thought it was down....but I guess it was from the weights I used....I haven't eaten yet today.

I wouldn't worry too much you probably just over exerted yourself so your body had to deliver glucose to your muscles which was struggling to utilise it. It may look like a bad thing initially but it helps your insulin sensitivity for the rest of the day
