Different physical activities influence the glucose uptake of cells inside the body. For example, If a person is running his glucose uptake by the cells is increased resulting in decrease in glucose level inside blood stream.
Is there any concrete relationship between the physical activity and glucose level dynamics?
Hi Owais,
I'm assuming that you are referring to different types of exercise at the same intensity? (i.e,. running at 70% VO2 max vs cycling at 70% VO2 max).

Yes exactly, but with this assumption that different exercises or activities of same intensity must be producing the same effect on glucose uptake by the cells.
Hi Owais Bhat ,
I would assume that re-distribution of blood flow, number of muscles actively engaged, and body position may have some influence on glucose uptake in different activities at the same intensity - but I'll look into this for you in more detail.

i think exercise is one of the best things to manage glucose, which it can do:
1- Firstly by reducing insulin resistance due to cellular level increase in glucose demands
2- Muscles use glucose especially during resistance exercise so a little of muscle mass always help
3- Improves beta cell performance
4- Avoid long-term damage due to gluoctoxicity
Moreover, exercise releases hormones which reduce glucose
