[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1324309, member: 94045"] When our livers think we need extra glucose, either after fasting (overnight for example) or exercise, it will dump glucose in our blood stream. Knowing that may explain your readings. Your high carb breakfast will have dumped a lot of glucose in your blood stream, so your liver was happy and didn't dump anymore when you exercised. Your walk will have used up a lot of this carb induced glucose hence the low readings after the walk. (I would like to bet they were high beforehand though) Conversely, after your protein and fat breakfast there would be no carb induced glucose available to sustain you through your walk so your liver kicked in and dumped some. Hence the high numbers after your walk. Does that make sense? It is just an assumption on my part. [/QUOTE]
