| I wouldn't say it works better. Using Deus's lingo.....
Think of when you are not exercising the insulin only opens the door for one piece of sugar to get through before it closes and dies off. When you exercise, the cells pull more sugar in therefore they allow 2 pieces of sugar through the door before shutting.
When exercising you need some extra sugar to go into the cells, but with insulin and the diabetic body it doesn't correctly compensate when artificial insulin is given. Therefore you need to take less insulin so that the correct amount of sugar gets through the doors.
