Blood glucose levels in the body must be kept relatively

Blood glucose levels in the body must be kept relatively constant in order to maintain homeostasis (internal balance). Many stimuli (normal or abnormal) can disturb this balance, causing either elevated or lowered levels of blood glucose. Luckily the body usually adjusts and we don’t ever notice any changes, other times we may experience symptoms. Select a stimulus that impacts blood glucose levels (ex: exercise, ingestion of high vs low GI foods, diabetes, carbo-loading…). Find a research article (see above question for clarification) that studied the effects on blood sugar levels and the physiological impact on the body. Response: Exercise is a stimuli that impacts blood glucose levels. Exercising regurlarly can help improve blood sugar control and lower the risk of type 2 diabetes. Using your muscles assist with burning glucose and helps with lowering blood glucose levels. The type of exercise and the duration of said exercises; different effects on blood glucose levels will take place. For example, moderate activities can lower blood glucose levels by increasing insulin sensitivity and muscle glucose uptake. Exercising after a meal can also lower blood glucose levels. On the other hand, vigorous excrcise activites can casue a surge in counterregulatory hormones that can increase blood glucose levels. Weightlfting and very high intensity training can also raise blood glucose levels. In terms of regulating blood glucose levels, exercise plays a major role, as respon
