How does exercise lower blood sugars?
Exercise requires and uses up energy. The sugar/carbohydrates in your body/blood is converted to energy for this. This removes blood sugar from your system lowering blood sugar.
How does glucagon impact blood sugar levels in the body?
Glucagon is a hormone that increases blood sugar levels by signaling the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream. This helps to raise blood sugar levels when they are too low, such as during fasting or exercise.
What can cause dizziness brought on by heat and or exercise?
Dizziness brought on by heat or exercise can be caused by dehydration and/or low blood sugar. (Since this was originally put in the Migraine category, I will also answer that both dehydration as well as low blood sugar can trigger migraines, and migraines can cause dizziness. Also, there is something known as Exercise Induced Headache, whereby just by doing exercise can trigger an intense headache. Dizziness may be a part of that headache as well.)
How common is exercise-induced blurry vision and what are the potential causes and remedies for this phenomenon?
Exercise-induced blurry vision is not very common, but it can occur in some individuals. Potential causes include dehydration, low blood sugar, or a sudden increase in blood pressure during exercise. Remedies may include staying hydrated, eating a balanced meal before exercising, and taking breaks to rest your eyes during intense physical activity. If blurry vision persists or worsens, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

What factors cause fatigue from prolonged exercise?

What is the risk of exercise with diabetes?
Exercise calls upon blood sugar resources, and also causes the body to release and consume more blood sugar. This means that it can cause blood glucose levels to rise OR to fall OR not to change much, depending on the individual and sometimes the circumstances. Since diabetics need to be able to predict and control their blood sugar, unpredictable bouts of exercise can lead to unusually low or high blood sugar. Keeping exercise predictable and routine, and knowing their own body's reaction to it, is the best answer for a diabetic.
Why does exercise have an insulin-like effect?
Exercise lowers blood sugar in a similar way to insulin, as the body uses the sugar in respiration, allowing the body to move, enabling its participation in exercise.
What is the relationship between exercise and diabetes?
Since diabetes increases a person's risk of heart disease, and exercise strengthens a person's hear and lowers their blood sugar, exercise can improve a person's health who has diabetes and help them to maintain a good blood sugar level.
Why does blood sugar level go up after exercise?
