One of the important points to emphasize to your viewers is that blood sugar spikes, whether due to a meal or exercise, is transitory in nature and not harmful because glucose concentration returns quickly to normal baseline value . What is harmful to organs and tissues is chronic elevation of blood glucose concentrations which over time leads not only to the increased glycosylation of tissues but also conversion of glucose into oxidants and free radicals that destroy the cells of organs and tissue beds.

Thank you. When I went for a walk and did push ups, sit ups and squats my glucose was way down the following morning. When I went to the gym and really pushed cardio & weights hard my sugar spiked. Confused the hell out of me.

This answered the one thing I couldn't figure out. Normally, my blood sugar level is related to what I eat, but I have got the largest blood sugar spikes after washing my car or cutting the grass on a hot day and I didn't know what was going on. After around an hour of rest the blood sugar level goes back to normal.

Fasting blood sugar was 117. After weight training, increased to 171. That’s why I searched this subject 😮😅

I have a Dexcom CGC and when I exercise in the eliptical I can see my glucose dropping sharply right around 18 minutes into the workout. I have dropped consitently up to 50 mg/dl right on the exercise session and it keeps dropping afterwards and then it stabilizes at less than 100 mg/dl. I believe that the reason that glucose might spike on some people while exercising is that they exercise at a too high intensity causing too much stress that releases the adrenaline and cortisol hormones. I also monitor my heartbeat to keep my hearbeats to between 115 and 125 most of the workout.

I found out this effect myself yesterday. Base glucose number was 97 when I ate my lunch. 20 minutes after finished eating I did weight training for 1 hr. Then waited for another 30 minutes to measure my blood glucose for a post meal number (2 hr after the start of meal). 164! This is much higher than any post meal number in the past. I usually get below 140 at 2 hours after a meal. I waited for 2 more hours (4 hours from start of meal, 1.5 hours from end of exercise) and took another reading. 112. So those extra sugar must be coming from the liver due to gluconeogenesis during the hour long strength training.

I’m in the process of really focusing on my health. First with diet and now moderate exercise. I have type 2 diabetes. I’ve been obese and overweight for decade until about 6 or so years ago that I had a great doctor change out my psych meds (I have a mental illness). Those psych meds made me gain a lot! After the med change, the pound’s started falling off. Prior to all that, I worked out trying to lose the weight and it was a defeating process. My efforts were futile. Fast forward to now, my weight is under control. I’m not obese. I’m not over weight. I’m where I should be. I am so much thinner than I have been since high school. Anyways, my blood sugar spiked immensely after I worked out this morning. I can figure it out. In the middle of the night I check my blood sugar, it was 98. When I woke up it was 111. After the workout, it was 186 and I checked it again thinking maybe I had something on my finger that perhaps made the reading inaccurate. It was 204! My blood sugar hasn’t been that high in a good long while. I just started an exercise program and was feeling defeated and like I was a failure because my sugars were high. I didn’t know any of this info before, but thank you for your video. I’ll check it again through out the day. I’ll talk to my doctor about it Friday.

This happens to me after a 15 min walk! The worst part is I spend the next 45 min to hr trying to stay awake! This is a problem that I would love a solution too!

[cecillestewart]

U just answered a question I wanted to know. U r so good. Thank you. Blessing on u.

[mohammadrafiq]

Thanks for your brief and sympathetic advice

[kazoz]

Thank you.
I'm still trying to work out why my glucose levels after physical activity, patterns completely flipped. Glucose levels used to drop, had to be very careful and eat first thing in morning, before doing any physical activity (I usually wake up with low fasting glucose levels). Now if glucose levels are getting low, a short walk will boost glucose levels. Add stress + physical activity, will get a major spike (eg I fell (gently) while walking down a ramp. Glucose levels skyrocketed).

Stopped needing insulin, not taking meds. I figure ME/CFS is making my limited physical activities the equivalent of a major workout. But I don't know what are "normal" glucose level patterns with exercise for a non-diabetic either.

Let me ask you. My Blood sugar in the morning was 94 and I went for 30 min jogging, then measured right after and went up to 100. I didn't eat anything, just drank water. Is that normal process?

[sumitagg]

I’ve lost 40lbs and now have a bmi of only 19.29. But my fasting sugars are still 130 and increase to 160 after exercising I. The morning

[ssavage]

Thanks you so much for this insight. It does happen to me sometimes when I do a workout @ home or come from a good walk in the evening 😊

[sarahboudreault]

My fasting sugar stayed the same after walking for an hour outside. So I don’t think it’s stress, it was just a walk. Walking reduces cortisol.

[youtubeobserverz]

This definitely helps and is appreciated! (79 before 13 mile bike ride in the heat, 159 right after) THANK YOU!!! 😊

[ahmd]

I usually exercise after lunch and my blood sugar is around 125, if I don't exercise my blood sugar would be 200
