Exercise can sometimes raise blood glucose, yes.
But at what time did you have the Snickers?

If you mean going up from 7.6 to 8.5 between 5:04 and 7:31, this could be exercise or simply Dawn Phenomenon/Foot on the Floor effect, where your friendly liver chucks out some glucose to help you get going for the day. Friendly as it is, it's also rather stupid and it doesn't know you have diabetes, very annoying. :banghead:
That said, you only went up by 0.9 mmol/l, which isn't too bad. :)
 
Had the snickers after 17.00, hence the rise. Exercise in the morning, first reading was when I got up as had to drive to the station and then second reading was just before breakfast. So, there was plenty of walking between.
