Exercise therapy has been unanimously recognized by diabetes scholars as a treatment for diabetes, but it is not suitable for all diabetics, and those who use insulin to control their blood glucose must realize that exercise is not as good for them as you might think! In fact, for those who use insulin for blood glucose control, the task of exercise is mainly for the completion of normal social activities and normal daily activities, not for blood glucose control. Because the metabolic disturbance in the body that may be brought about by prolonged exercise can further raise blood sugar! Regular moderate intensity exercise is still beneficial, such as the improvement of cardiovascular function, and for overweight or obese people, exercise can improve insulin resistance, then it is beneficial for blood glucose control. However, it requires more effort on your part to achieve better blood glucose control. How can I prevent hypoglycemia during exercise? The prerequisite is to have a more comprehensive understanding of the insulin you are using, the key of which is the time when insulin is highly active and avoiding exercise during that time is the most important. There are three specific methods to try: a. For planned exercise, the amount of insulin can be reduced in advance; b. For those who have already injected insulin, the intake of carbohydrates should be increased moderately; c. Both reduce the amount of insulin and also increase the intake of carbohydrates moderately. Of course, the specific operation should be planned according to the type of exercise, the duration of exercise, the intensity of exercise and the time of exercise.
