Gluose levels after strenuous exercise?

Does anyone know what happens to blood glucose levels after strenuous exercise. If the levels change what are the reasons for the change?
thanks
Answer:
Glucose levels become lower after exercise - this is because the glucose in your body (which is converted to insulin) is then converted into energy and used. The more exercise you do, the more glucose and energy stores you use. This in course lowers your blood sugar levels.
I'm guessing glucose levels will be lower after strenuous exercise since sugar in our bodies is what gives us energy. If you're using up a lot of energy by exercising, I would think that there will be less sugar (glucose).
burned at least at 15 min
Hi. Glucose is used up to make energy for the contraction of muscles (and other things) so it may drop until your body stabilizes. Diabetics have a different problem with the stabilization due to insulin use.
