Hi Customer (name blocked for privacy).

When do you have tests every day? How often? What is the interval between the test and the exercise?

Dear Mr. Campbell:

It is unlikely that your high sugar level is trigged by exercise. For some people, exercise may increase sugar level for awhile. However, this usually happens in the first hour of exercise.

You should talk to your doctor about the high sugar level. You doctor may have to add medications to control the sugar level. It is common for type 2 diabetic patients, because the disease is progressive. You also should talk to your doctor about exercise. The following websites have more information.
