In very simple terms, your blood glucose levels are not just influenced by what you consume in terms of food or drink or when. Our bodies have a way to store / create glucose. There are many things that can trigger the release of this glucose - physical activity, stress, illness, etc.

Did this happen in the morning, possibly after waking but before eating?

Did you retest when you got the 10? I always clean my hands & test again if I get a result that I’m not expecting.

How can I go from 7.2 to 12.9 in 23 minutes? Nothing to eat or drink - not even water - just a fairly quick 5k Parkrun.

Still, after 57 years of this, I quite like how absurd it can all be!

Exercise is one of the bigger factors that can trigger the release of glucose stored in your body. Your liver is quite good at delivering a quick dose of energy when it senses you might need it.
