Your glucose response to a food will be higher if you eat it immediately following a bout of intense exercise, versus after rest. This period of elevated glucose probably lasts about one hour. However, once the immediate post exercise period is over - the acute exercise bout actually makes people more insulin sensitive (and with better glucose tolerance) up to 3 days after the exercise compared their usual baseline.
So many questions were answered in this series of posts. Great stuff! Thanks! (Nice calling out those scammers selling CGMs to fitness people. I was one of those fools buying:))
Thank you for these informative & enlightening articles. I was wondering about the effects of having blood glucose drops during sleep. Is there anything "wrong" with glucose levels dropping below 50 at various times throughout the night?
Hello
Appreciate for your informative articles
I can't see reference for this paragraph.

Would you please find out the reference?
