How does a workout affect glucose n ketone level

Whatever diet plan one is on, we all know that exercise works hand in hand together. Nothing is easy in this world, you gotta work like shit to get to that slim figure you want. If only dieting can help, gyms can close down their businesses. 

Likewise in a ketogenic diet, a workout affects the blood glucose and ketone levels

How is ketone developed?
Ketones develop in our bodies when we mobilize fat as fuel. Fat is an important energy source that is used by the body at rest and during exercise. Ketones are a general term in medicine used to describe the three main ketone bodies that the liver produces – acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, and acetone.
