| fluctuating blood sugar levels I've been wondering how much blood sugar levels fluctuate after eating. If I eat a dessert, I usually do some activity afterwards (push-ups, running up stairs, etc.). I check my blood sugar about an hour after eating -mainly so I know what my "peak" number is. Lately, my peak after a dessert has been high 90s (with 5-10 min. of exercise after eating). Tonight, I decided to check 2 hours after, and it was 115. I checked again 15 minutes later and it was 121. I did some more push ups and jogging in place, and took it 15 min. later and it was 94. So, I'm wondering if blood sugar levels might come down temporarily because of some exercise but then go back up again? I had always assumed that once they were low, they pretty much stayed at that level. Is this not the case? |
