Positive effects:
When you exercise, you lose a lot of glucose in the process to other uses in your body. You really don't lower you glucose levels. If you constantly and somewhat on a regular basis (that your body can handle the way you need it to) it lowers the risk of serious high blood sugar and other side affects that you might already or is at risk for. You start gaining control of your glycemic levels. Exercising can handle your weight, which leads to better handling of your glucose levels.
Negative effects: Intense activity when your diabetic can increase your blood sugar, putting you at risk for low or high blood sugar (determining on your handling of your body). Exercising too hard can lead to high blood sugar, so you have to keep track of it. Take note of your levels when you start working out and stop. overexertion can also raise you blood pressure, thus leading to stress, dizziness, fainting, and other mild effects.

What is glucogon?
Glucagon is a hormone, secreted by the Islets of Langerhans by Alpha Cell in Pancreas, that raises blood glucose levels. Its effect is opposite that of insulin, which lowers blood glucose levels
What hormone reduces blood glucose levels and what hormone raises blood glucose levels?
Glucagon is the hormone that raises blood glucose levels.
What effect would elevated cortisol levels have on blood glucose levels?
One function of cortisol is to decrease the cellular use of glucose while increasing both the available glucose (by promoting the brakedown of glycogen) and the conversion of amino acids to carbohydrates. Therefore, the net result of elevated cortisol levels would be an elevation of blood glucose.
How can Plasma glucose levels during exercise increase?
The blood glucose is used by the muscles during exercise. The level of the glucose in the blood drops down. This stimulates the secretion of the hormone called as glucagon. This glucagon is secreted by the alpha cells of the endocrine part of the pancreas.
Which hormone will increase blood glucose levels?
Glucagon is catabolic and increases blood glucose levels, insulin is anabolic decreases blood glucose levels.
How does a runner control blood sugar levels?
Exercise (such as running) can lower blood sugar levels. Therefore, runners can partially control their blood sugar levels through running. They can also control their blood sugar levels through monitoring their diet.
