Sugars went high after gym workout

[Kimmy22]

hi I went back to the gym for the first time after being diagnosed 6 weeks ago I am on gliclazine and metformin I didn't eat before I went as I planned to have my breakfast after it I took my gliclazine before the workout...my morning reading was 6.7 but after my hour workout. It went up to 8.8 is that normal for my sugars to go up after a workout thanks for any help

It can be a stress response.

High blood sugar, hyperglycemia, can also occur during exercise, particularly after short bursts of strenuous activity.

Strenuous activity produces a stress response which sees the body producing glucagon to raise blood sugar levels to provide the muscles with energy in the form of glucose.

Totally normal

As you get your BG levels down the spike will not be so much wither (at least that's what I have found after exercise)
