Through my experience I noticed that sport is very important
Every morning I exercise After four hours I measure my blood sugar and find it at a lower level 104mg/dl No matter what foods I eat Within limits of course
 
That's not unusual at all ... however some folk record jumps after exercise
 
The impact of exercise can vary depending on time of day, intensity of exercise, type of exercise (aerobic or anaerobic), duration of exercise and your level of fitness.
But, generally, it reduces BG levels. This affect may last for 24 to 48 hours.
 
I have problems with my adrenal glands. If I do anything except mild exercise my BGs go up.

I don't have problems with my adrenal glands, but my BGs also go up other than walking at a moderate to brisk pace. I can't even clean my windows or hard floors without seeing a rise, especially in the mornings.

I run about two kilometers and walk two kilometers when I measure the blood sugar I find normal but after four hours it drops
 
That's not unexpeected given how the liver works.

Personally when I do exercises I feel the liver will explode
Maybe something happens to the liver makes it lower sugar
 
The liver can only store a limited amount of sugar and releases it when the body most needs it then removes sugar from the blood to rebuilt its stores. Muscles also store sugar and "refill" after you have finish exercising.

With Type2 the liver often releases the sugar quicker then it should.

However at the end of the day, it comes down to limiting how much sugar we add to our blood by eating “low carb”, and removing as much sugar as we can form our blood by fasting and exercise.

(If we keep to "very low carb" all the time, we can stop a lot of the above processes and have our muscles using fat rather then suger.)

In my opinion what matters is regular exercise. Every day unless something really, really makes it impossible.

I have never been a complete "couch potato" and have always been quite active. For decades, I have been the kind of person who parks the car several blocks away from the shops, to force me to walk. I have also taken public transport as often as possible. At weekends and on holiday, I have been hiking many miles for decades.

But that probably turned out not to be enough. You see, because of my job, I alternated this "good exercise" with long periods (it could be several weeks) when I was just sitting in front of a computer for hours on end, taking no exercise at all.

I don't know whether the lack of exercise helped cause my T2 diabetes, but it cannot have helped. So this is what I changed: every day I now walk at least three miles, sometimes five, at a brisk pace. I do this even if is is pouring rain, and even if the outside temperature is sub-freezing here in the northeastern USA.

The medical advice seems to be: regular exercise (as little as 90 or 150 minutes per week) is more important than the total quantity of exercise.
 
Idle is a disaster my friend
