how does adrenaline help when there is an increase in blood sugar level?

Increased blood sugar will be 'helped' by insulin, a hormone that helps cells decide to take up sugar from the blood stream. Adrenalin will cause a release of sugar units from glycogen storage so that the animal will have lots of energy to fight or to run for its life.

Adrenaline speeds up your metabolism and response rates. To do this it needs energy. Sugar, like all carbohydrates is a source of energy.
If your blood sugar increases, adrenaline helps by burning off much of the excess sugar.

Adrenaline stimulates all adrenergically mediated functions,it is a neurohormone, it speeds up metabolism , increasing the rate at which blood glucose is burned up, it increases heart rate, rate of contraction and conduction in the heart and this increased metabolism produces a fall in glucose level.
