I thought I would make a new thread. I did a short ride one my regular road bike. I did a warmup and down with 8 all out intervals in the middle. My starting was 133mg/dl I peaked at 190mg/dl. This is about normal for me. Hard sprints or resistance exercise always raised my BG, while LSD (long steady distance) causes it to steadily but slowly drop.

I think it’s a cool signal we have that non-D’s don’t. It’s a way of knowing where your lactate threshold level is.
I see it at certain intensities when they are performed for long enough.
I test my BG between the reps and I can see it just waiting and waiting, and then on the 3rd or 4th rep - boom! It spikes. Ah, there it is! I’m working now!
Non-D’s don’t have that feedback.
