WTF!? Does working out MAKE your sugar high? Cause if so, im STOPPING. This is frustrating. I had 3 chicken minis, ate 1 of the breads threw away the other 2, making it like 20 carbs total I believe, had a WATER to drink, then did a corsstraining class for 35 minutes. It has been 2 hours 20 minutes, and i am 118. WHY???????? PLEASE SOMEONE EXPLAIN .

    Yes, strenuous exercise will raise your BG. You burn glucose when exercising. If you burn too much your liver will dump more glucose into your blood stream to keep you from crashing thus raising your BG level. However, if you test again 1 - 2 hours after your workout your BG should be back down

    Exercise will also cause your muscles to release cortisol which can also raise BG levels.

    The benefits of exercise far outweigh a BG level of 118. Don't stop.

    What is your BG level after eating chicken minis without working out after?
