- Being unwell and seeing BG levels soar
I have found that my BG level plummets if I do just 10 minutes gentle jogging exercise. I ate out with my wife this evening. I chose meat with a salad, but the salad had a dressing. 1.5 hours after first bite my BG was 8.6. I went out and jogged gently for five minutes. My BG re-tested at 6.1. an hour later and it is 5.9. Does anyone else get results like that after modest amounts of exercise? I should say that my HBA1C has fallen from 53 at diagnosis 18 months ago to 40 now. I do around 30 minutes of exercise (moderate) every day and an hour and a half of running (refereeing rugby) once or twice a week. I follow a LCHF diet, but I do eat out quite a bit and it can spike my BG. Am I just lucky that exercise is so effective in reducing my BG levels?
