[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 182626, member: 11028"] Matthew, The higher readings might indicate that you don't have sufficient insulin in your body before exercise. During exercise your liver releases glucose for energy, insulin helps the glucose get into the cells but also regulates the amount of glucose that is released by your liver, without insulin the liver will continue to pump out glucose and this could explains why your readings get higher during and after exercise. I like to be around 8-9mmol before exercise and find that 30-60 mins of exercise lowers my bg by 2-3mmol, if I am starting on 6-7mmol then I eat a 10-20g snack to keep my levels up. Just remember also that hypo's are more likely after exercise and over the following 12-18 hours, this is due to the body replacing its energy stores depleted during exercise- so do keep an eye on your bg over this period.
