Type 2 Exercise

[Diane_56]

Why would my sugar levels go up when I have exesised

Hi @Diane_56 Exercise releases hormones which trigger a liver glucose response, hence the rise, it's to help with the exertion/reaction. I tend to watch a meter whilst exercising and it can go either way depending on intensity, duration, insulin on board, time of day, many factors.

Yes, but they’ll come right back down afterwards. Exercising is very beneficial: )
