Speak to your doctor about the right time of day to exercise to match your workout with your diet and medicine schedules.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep track of your blood sugar levels. Speak to your doctor about blood sugar levels before you start exercising.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Test your level of blood sugar. Check your blood sugar levels before, during and after a workout, mainly if you take insulin or lower blood sugar medications. Exercise will decrease your blood sugar levels up to one day later, especially if you do a new activity or if you practise at a more intense level.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you use insulin and your blood glucose level is lower than 90, you should have a small snack to avoid low blood sugar levels before your workout.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be Prepared. Always have a small snack or glucose tablet during exercise if the level of blood sugar falls too low. Wear a bracelet for medical recognition.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be Hydrated. Before exercising, drink plenty of water or other fluids because dehydration could affect blood sugar levels.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>Conclusion:<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do exercise daily to be fit. If you take insulin, you need to decrease your insulin dose <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">before you do exercise and closely track your blood sugar for several hours after <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">physical activity. Your doctor will inform you about necessary adjustments.
