From time to time I get spikes like the one you describe. It's a spike I only get when exercising. It goes up very high very fast and then comes down again. What I've also noticed is that when the training becomes a habit the spikes stop, also they don't happen if my blood sugar is 6 or below before I start training. I rationalise this as follows. The spike is the result of a release of sugar from the liver. Once the exercise becomes routine, maybe the liver gets used to it and doesn't pump out the sugar. If I have been running with low or around 5-6 blood sugars for a while then the liver is depleted and it can't send out enough sugar to cause a spike. I'm no expert by the way, just sharing my experience and ideas, please, informed people, tell me if I'm talking nonsense.</p></blockquote><p></p>
