Question about Liver Dump (I think)

[TvBabe]

On April 1st I decided to start a walking program to help manage my type 2 (insulin dependant) diabetes.

I have slowly worked up to approximately a 5-6 kilometer walk every day which takes me around 90 minutes to do. I exercise about an hour after my breakfast, I test before and after my walk.

I have noticed that sometimes an hour after I get back that my sugars spike (liver dump maybe?) and go up around 3-4 points (canadian values). This doesn't happen every day. Now I have taken my meter with me a few times and tested every 30 minutes of the walk and I'm not going low. Could there be another reason I might be experiencing what I think might be a liver dump an hour after exercise?

A low is not the only reason the liver releases glucose. It may release any time it sees a drop in blood glucose or when it sees the absense of stored glucose in muscle tissue. Then it maybe just that it is slow in shutting down in providing glucose after the demands of physical activity end.

Darned old liver, wish it would quit "helping" me! I try to lead a physically active life but it seems self defeating when half the time my bs goes up instead of down. :(

LOL Krisin:)

Well maybe I should clarify, when I return from exercise and test my sugars are always down like good little blood sugars are suppose to do but sometimes they just don't want to stay down :)
