Confused about readings

Hi

I've got a couple of queries about my bs readings and wonder if anyone would be so kind as to offer any advice.

I've only been doing this for a week (tomorrow) so it may be I just have to give it time and try to remember that it's a marathon and not a sprint. (I find this really difficult, once I focus on something, I want it straight away!)

Anyway, a couple of times this week, when I have done exercise before my breakfast, my bs have gone up - roughly 6.5 fasting to 8.8 post run before breakfast. 2 hours after breakfast, it is has come down to either 7.9 or 6.5, depending what I had to eat. Does anyone know what causes this increase on exercising and if there is anything I can do about it?

Also, this morning my fasting bs was 7.4 which is a bit higher than the last few days (they'd been down to the early to mid 6s over the last 3 days.) They were pretty much the same before breakfast and after breakfast were great at 5.4! I was feeling rather pleased with myself until I tested 2 hours later which was before lunch and they'd gone up to 7! What on earth causes that to happen - the only thing I'd eaten in between was a little bit of chicken thigh. Why would my blood sugars rise from 5.4 to 7 when I haven't had anything to eat?!

Hi Type1Bri. I had full fat Greek yoghurt, a few raspberries and nuts for breakfast (10g carbs in total.)

Sanguine - as May, June, July and August are the next 4 months, perhaps I'll have a good spell!

I've only just started exercising again after at least 20 months (funnily enough the age of my toddler) of doing nothing except walking the dog, so maybe my body is a bit shocked at the change - maybe that's why my liver thinks I need the extra glucose, to actually stop me collapsing in a heap!
