A new study has looked at how factors such as age, gender and body weight affect the glucose levels of healthy individuals during exercise.

It found that women’s glucose levels after exercise were lower compared to men’s - and that people aged 20-39 had more instances of very low glucose levels compared to both younger (under 20) and older (older 65) cohorts.
