View allWhy is blood glucose elevated after exercise in a diabetic?
Strenous exercises such as weightlifting, sprints and competitive sports cause you to produce stress hormones (such as adrenaline). Adrenaline raises blood glucose levels by stimulating your liver to release glucose which is needed for the muscles during work outs.

I'm dealing with Spine Tb and I've been on medication for about 3 months now. But I've put on 6 kg in just one month and I'm worried because I also have a Grade 1 fatty liver. It's making me feel heavier, and I'm finding it harder to breathe. What can I do to lose some weight?
you have to start exercising and eat nutritious food. do intermittent fasting
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
I'm trying to understand why my postprandial sugar levels are lower than my fasting levels. I've been monitoring my sugar, and it's concerning since my fasting sugar reads around 122-130 and my PP is usually between 102-110. A couple of years back, my PP was 180 and fasting was at 146 during a check-up. I made some lifestyle changes and managed to bring my weight down from 83 to 71 kg, cut out direct sugar, switched to millets from rice, and I'm eating more veggies and dal. My recent HBA1C is at 5.9, and it has been below 6.3 over the last two years. I also walk about 4 km five days a week. I'm not currently on any medication. Do you think medication might be necessary? Would love your guidance on this.
while postprandial (PP) levels are lower, which could be due to various factors, such as improved insulin sensitivity from weight loss and dietary changes, or potentially, an early sign of hypoglycemia unawareness; given your HbA1c levels have been consistently below 6.3, medication may not be immediately necessary, but your doctor may recommend more frequent blood glucose monitoring, adjustments to your diet or exercise routine, or further testing to rule out any underlying conditions.
