Exercise plays a crucial role in managing diabetes. It helps regulate blood sugar, improves insulin sensitivity, and supports overall health and wellbeing.

How it helps:

  • Lowers blood sugar levels during and after activity
  • Improves how your body uses insulin
  • Supports weight management and heart health
  • Boosts energy and reduces stress

General tips:

  • Aim to exercise 1–3 hours after eating
  • Monitor your blood sugar before and after workouts
  • Carry a snack if you're at risk of low blood sugar
  • Avoid intense workouts if your sugar levels are too high

It's always a good idea to speak with your healthcare team before starting or changing your exercise routine.
