Is FBS Value Of 170 A Cause For Concern?

my fasting reading is 170. after 40 minutes of moderate exercise (1 mile walk, floor routines) i measure again and the reading is higher by a several points. I have been instructed by past drs if sugar level is high take a walk, i presumed that walking would reduce the blood sugar level?? how much time should elapse between measuring sugar immediately after exercise and observing a strip testing impact?

There is no direct link between exercise and blood sugar levels.Your fasting sugar was high in the past and it is high at the moment.Go for life style changes,take diabetic diet,avoid rice ,potato,fruits with high gly caemic index like mango ,banana,Continue being physically active.Mantaining ideal body weight helps to keep BS near normal.Get HBA1C Test which will reflect your past blood sugar trends.Go for 2 hr PP sugar and oral GTT.
