8.0. Which is quite normal. I then went for a 20 mile bike ride before breakfast/brunch and it was 10.2 when I got back. Have just eaten brunch (egg, bacon, mushrooms) so will see what the numbers are in 2 hours.
The levels rise during exercise as the body is under stress, so the kidneys release cortisol, which activates the liver to produce glucose. This is the body's way of gearing up for a stressful situation.
