"Getting into shape" is not something that happens overnight and your body's ability to regulate your blood sugar levels is no exception. Our bodies release stored glycogen as glucose into our blood stream when we engage in higher intensity exercise. That's a natural response and a basic human adaptation.Unfortunately, our bodies aren't always the best at knowing when to stop that process which is why many of us (type 1 and type 2) may experience TEMPORARY hyperglycemia after exercise. However, this is a short-term side-effect which is VASTLY outweighed by the benefits of exercise. It's also a side-effect that largely goes away after some repetition and frequency.</blockquote>
