Exercise and its effect on managing blood sugar levels short term

April 5th, 2023

  "Insulin sensitivity is increased, so your muscle cells are better able to use any available insulin to take up glucose during and after activity. When your muscles contract during activity, your cells are able to take up glucose and use it for energy whether insulin is available or not. This is how exercise can help lower blood sugar in the short term. And when you are active on a regular basis, it can also lower your A1C."
