in poorly controlled DM, pts with hyperglycemia who exercise might __ BG (what type can this happen to?)

A

increase BG
type 1

42
Q

what are some impacts of exercise in someone with DM

inc blood flow –> inc glucose and insulin delivery
stimulates glucose transport via muscle contraction
enhances whole body sensitivity to insulin
dec BG levels
