How to manage post work-out BG highs

I wouldn’t necessarily advise you to “not” take anything. But you could experiment a little and see it if starts to come up a bit maybe. Wait a few minutes and test again. Is it still 60, or is it now 63? Maybe next time wait a few minutes longer. Get an idea of if it will come up a little bit on its own, and how much.

I am just speculating that the process of waking up contributes to the rise. Some of it is the glucose tablet, and some of it is perhaps the body’s natural response to the wake-up process.

And I apologize for being dumb to not have thought of this before - there is a recent thread on this exact topic on this site! See how many people have to take insulin just from waking up!

Man, I’m dumb. Finally thought to post this! See below:
