Unexplained high sugars

Hi
I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on why since lowering my intake of starchy carbs, my blood sugars seem to unexpectedly rocket? (I've been following this ragim for a month).
E.g. I wake to a blood sugar of between 7 and 10 (vast improvement and good for me).
I then take 6 to 9 units of humalog, have a lactose free coffee and a small portion of fresh fruit. (this in prep for moderate excersize .... lifting and sweeping after 4 horses .... roughly 1.5 hrs work). I then test again and can have a result of 16/18?
I power walk/jog 3 miles around 4 times a week.
It seems my sugars are highest between 9:30am and 1/2pm. I can have a low around mid to late evening.
I'm eating roughly 1.000 calories a day and it's mainly veg, proteins, small amount of fruit first thing. My diet, I would say I'd LCHF.
I take between 27 & 29 units, (excersize and diet considered), of Lantus at 8pm.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.
 
Exercise raises many of us, especially in the morning.

A lot of us continue to rise as you do even without exercise. I bolus for my avocado ( fatty) bf and then an hour later take another small one and two hours after that another small one. That's the only way I can stop / head off the rise and I'm not exercising.
