Taking Onglaza and Glipzide as normal with breakfast

[18:55] Visitor: After taking Onglaza and Glipzide as normal with breakfast, two hours later my sugar is 325 mg /dl. Should I be concerned? I also went to the gym and walked for 45 minutes on the treadmill after breakfast.

[18:57] Dr.Albana Sejdini: Your blood sugar levels seem to be really high

[18:58] Dr.Albana Sejdini: Sorry really high
[18:59] Dr.Albana Sejdini: But to me running in the treadmill has caused increase in blood sugar
[18:59] Dr.Albana Sejdini: So not advised to check blood sugar after intensive physical activity

[18:59] Visitor: Ok, thank you.
[19:00] Visitor: I have read that walking 30 minutes or so would bring the sugar level down. Before I went to the gym it was 285. I’m not overweight and I do watch what I eat.

[19:01] Dr.Albana Sejdini: I recommend to check blood sugar fasting and 2 hours after eating

[19:01] Visitor:: Ok, will do.

[19:02] Dr.Albana Sejdini: Exercise can decrease blood sugar
[19:02] Dr.Albana Sejdini: But when you go for a physical activity, your muscles need energy
[19:02] Dr.Albana Sejdini: This energy is obtained from sugar
[19:03] Dr.Albana Sejdini: Which is high during the exercise and up to 1 hour after exercising
[19:03] Dr.Albana Sejdini: That’s why I recommended not to.measure after exercising

[19:03] Visitor: That makes sense. Thank you!

[19:04] Dr.Albana Sejdini: Ok most welcome

[19:04] Visitor: That’s great to know.
