GH spares glucose because GH leads to fatty acids catabolism so there is less need for glucose (energy provided from fatty acids).
Cortizol spares glucose because it decreases insulin-receptor sensitivity to insuline (like in type II diebetes mellitus).
Glucagon decreases glycolysis, increases gluconeogenesis ans glycogenolysis thus increasing glicaemia.
