I want to know if the result of the test differs during my strain exercise and after taking break for 1 hour because I notice the big difference. Thank you.

Dear dLife guest:
I am assuming that what you mean by "strain" exercise, you are referring to strenous exercising, that is exercising at a very hard level. When you exercise, your body is actually breaking down more glucose from the liver, as a normal response to burning calories. As a result, you may actually see a rise in blood glucose as opposed to a pre-exercise state. However, after a while (approx. 30 minutes) your body starts using that circulating sugar and the levels go down. To maximize the calories and sugar you burn during exercise, I suggest lowering the intensity of the exercise while increasing the duration of it. I hope this answered your question.
Congratulations on keeping active!

The question is pretty confusing can you clarify what you meant. Do you mean your are exercising in a strenous manner that will raise your bs that is a normal response to extreme exercise more normal exercise lowers the bs like arobic exercise.
