"Sometimes blood glucose rises with exercise, especially vigorous activity such as weight lifting. This is because the liver pumps out glucose at very high rates during high intensity exercise, and sometimes the supply of glucose is greater than your body needs. The muscles cannot burn the glucose as fast as the liver is producing it."
