What are the best exercises?
Getting at least 30 minutes of exercise is beneficial to your health, but food is extremely important. As you may already know, people with diabetes should always be prepared to treat hypoglycemia. You don’t want to start getting the shakes, start sweating, get lightheaded or dizzy due to low blood glucose. People with type 1 diabetes are at a higher risk than those with type 2.
If you have any symptoms of hypoglycemia during or after your exercise routine, you should eat a fast-acting carbohydrate like a sports drink, regular soda, or glucose tablets. After you feel better, make sure you eat regular meals and snacks and check your blood glucose.
Start exercising, but definitely keep track of how exercise makes you feel. If you don’t know where to start, talk to your doctor and he or she will recommend an exercise for you, since they know more about your health history.
