Dr Brooke Show #340 How Exercise Impacts Your Blood Sugar

<p dir="ltr">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’s happening and why. In this episode I also cover what types of training cause various types of blood sugar highs and lows, what’s a problem and what’s not as well as how to adjust if you’re not feeling great after a workout or running out of energy and suspect it’s your blood sugar that’s the cause.  </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Are you dealing with all that comes with perimenopause and need a little help?
