A member asked:

What causes my fasting blood sugar to be high the day after exercising?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Check it out: Exercise has a number of great health benefits. It improves your strength, lowers your blood pressure and improves endurance. For diabetics, exercise is a great way to control high blood glucose levels, according to the american diabetes association. Regular exercise can keep blood glucose levels lower for up to a day or more after a workout.
