Hi

Is it normal for blood sugars to be raised after any form of exercise?

I did a 5 mile walk and my sugars for around 2 hours after were very high.

They have come down after drinking 3 litres of water.

Does this happen to anyone else?
 
Yes, with some [people depending upon how strenuous the exercise.
Our livers have evolved to help us hunt food and so tend to dump glucose into our blood stream in order to help fuel us for the exercise of chasing our food.
 
We are all different and mine reduces all the time regardless of leisurely walk or a weight lifting session so I have to be careful of hypos
 
I found that if I did a 5k jog pre-lunch my blood sugars would spike.

My post lunch reading 2 hrs later would typically be lower than pre-lunch on those days.
