Exercise

liver dump?, eat a decent snack before you exercise or better still don't push hard

Hi Jaxx, I'm by no means an expert in this but I've read on other threads that strenuous exercise can make the body dump glucose into the bloodstream for energy (which is pretty much what Jack said!)

Did you eat before swimming? As Jack said a snack would help, or better still your usual breakfast beforehand should help lower your BG.

I don't think there's ever a need to apologise for asking questions, we're all trying to get our heads round this and we all know that the information from our HCPs isn't always right for us. Ask away

I've solved the problem and don't exercise, no liver dump for me

Jaxx, can u tell when u checked after the start of exercise?? For the first 20 minutes ur BG will rise because of glucose dump into bloodstream. Then the muscles start extracting glucose from the blood stream & u will find sugars begin to decrease after half an hour &'the fall continues for hours after exercise
