[Diabetes-talk] Rule of thumb on testing after exercise?

[Mike Freeman]

It certainly could have been.  In my experience, the bg reading goes down
almost immediately as a rule when one begins exercising.  I wouldn't call
that skewed, though; it's a good thing!

Hi,
For a type 2 diabetic, what is the basic rule of thumb on testing after
exercise? I think I remember it being something like 15 to 30 minutes, but
not sure.
I asked because I got a surprisingly good reading almost immediately after
carrying a hamper of laundry down three flights of stairs, hauling it across
the complex, and down one flight of stairs into the laundry room, etc. Was
this morning's reading of 107, 24 hours after a reading of 139 skewed
because of the exertion?
