How my fasting blood sugar increased from 117 to 142 after one hour floor exercises without eating any food?

Question

I am monitoring my blood sugar level. I took fasting reading as 117 and then did one hour floor exercises without taking any food or drink. Soon thereafter the new reading increased by 25 points to 142. Where did the additional sugar come into the blood from for I remained in fasting state altogether. Also the boold came out with some pressure when I pricked it for the second reading after the exercises.

Answer 1

See your doctor.Could be your liver pumping out all this glucose.

Answer 2

I'm a diabetic, have been for more than 14 years. After exercising the blood sugar does elevate somewhat. I don't have the medical knowledge to give an explanation. I work out at a fitness center as often as possible. I wait to go 3 hrs after I eat. That helps. Also, 117 to 142 range is considered "good". As long as you are in that range, you'll be in good shape. I recently had a small stroke. It has altered my vision permanently. I also have tremors in my left hand, and "cobwebs", headaches, and other probs. My sugar zoomed up to over 500. So do your best to keep it under control, OK? Take care.

Answer 3

If you have TYPE 2 diabetes exercise can increase your insulin sensitivity. Your level should be check before, during and after to be safe.
