It doesn't work that fast. During exercise the rise is caused by the release of glycogen, which is a sugar stored mostly in the liver but also in muscle tissue. This is triggered by glucagon and adrenalin (which is why paramedics give glucagon to T1s having severe hypos). Using up the glycogen reserve could then trigger gluconeogenesis I guess, if no dietary carbohydrate was available? But I don't believe gluconeogenesis is the primary mechanism for blood sugar rise during exercise.</p></blockquote><p></p>
