One area in which exercise can better your blood sugar levels is by giving you more control. As you exercise, your muscles burn sugar for the fuel to power your movements. In turn, this reduces the amount of blood sugar stored in your body.
The more that you do, and the more vigorous you exercise, the more benefit you will see in this regard. And, it will last longer the more you can do.
For those that have Type 2 Diabetes, exercise has an extra benefit in this manner. Because of the way that exercise works with your body during exercise, your body actually increases its sensitivity to insulin. That means that you will need less insulin to help pull sugars into your body’s cells. In this regard, it will help to lower your need for insulin provided through medications.
