Why We Do Not Get Sleepy from Sugar

When we are exercising our body is using the sugar in the blood to fuel our muscles.

There must be something in the process that supresses the release of insulin, since we are using the sugar.

If we eat sugar, the insulin is already being supressed, so we do not get a sugar crash.

This leaves the possibility of eating sugar during exercise creating high sugar in the blood, which is bad.
