The importance of exercise when you have diabetes

The importance of exercise when you have diabetes #diabetes #exercise #health The biggest problem for most insulin users, is the risk of their blood glucose going too low for up to two days after they exercise. When you exercise, your body needs extra energy from blood sugar, also called glucose. When you do something quickly, like a sprint to catch the bus, your muscles, and liver release glucose for fuel. Exercise usually lowers your levels. If you take insulin or diabetes meds, a boost in workout intensity or length can mean you’ll have to adjust your snacks, medication, or both. Talk to your doctor about what’s right for you.
