Hmmm; I'd was wondering the same thing.
When I started taking longer afternoon and evening walks.
Taking those longer walks caused me to finish them almost exactly two hours after eating dinner. Which is also when I check my BG. And I noticed that my BG readings after those walks were higher than the evenings when I didn't take those walks.
That triggered a memory from diabetes education class. I thought the educator said exercise will lower your overall BG average; although it may slightly increase your BG immediately following the exercise.
BUT I couldn't find the answer in my notes from the class.
So I've been waiting for my next diabetes support group meeting to find an answer.
If nobody gives a definite answer here. I'll try to remember to ask next support group. (first wed of every other month.)
