120: Does Exercise Lower Blood Sugar?


Listen Later

A question that confuses a lot of people: Does exercise actually lower blood sugar?

Because sometimes people go for a walk and see their glucose drop… and other times they exercise and their blood sugar actually rises.

So what’s really going on?

In this episode we’ll break down the science in a very simple way. We’ll look at what’s happening inside your muscles during exercise, why skeletal muscle plays such a central role in blood sugar control, and how different types of exercise affect your glucose levels.
