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.
