Dr Brooke Show #340 How Exercise Impacts Your Blood Sugar

Published: June 28, 2023, noon

On the whole, we know exercise is helpful to balance blood sugar. However, for those of you that feel badly after exercise or those of you that get a strange reading on your CGM (continuous glucose monitor) after a workout I wanted to clear up any confusion as to what\u2019s happening and why. In this episode I also cover what types of training cause various types of blood sugar highs and lows, what\u2019s a problem and what\u2019s not as well as how to adjust if you\u2019re not feeling great after a workout or running out of energy and suspect it\u2019s your blood sugar that\u2019s the cause.\xa0\xa0

One of THE BEST tools for your health is a CGM, continuous glucose monitor. It helps you effortlessly understand what foods work for you and even how stress and sleep impact your blood sugar allowing you to make changes in real time. A CGM also allows you to see your glucose variability (the difference between your highs and lows) which may be as important as how high your blood sugar runs. It\u2019s an amazing tool and Nutrisense has my favorite interface with their app and dietitian support! It\u2019s easy and straightforward and with code BETTEREVERYDAY at checkout you can save 30% off a subscription. Click here and be well on your way to better health.\xa0
