Working Out Lowers Blood Sugar For 24 Hours Because Blood More Sensitive To Insulin & Muscles Take Up Glucose & Use For Energy After Activity

"Physical activity can lower your blood glucose up to 24 hours or more after your workout by making your body more sensitive to insulin. Become familiar with how your blood glucose responds to exercise. Checking your blood glucose level more often before and after exercise can help you see the benefits of activity."

"Insulin sensitivity is increased, so your muscle cells are better able to use any available insulin to take up glucose during and after activity.
 
When your muscles contract during activity, your cells are able to take up glucose and use it for energy whether insulin is available or not."
