The Question
Expert Answers (1)
Thanks for bringing your question to dLife.
Glad that you are engaged in regular physical activity. It is good practice to check your blood glucose (sugar) before and after you exercise.
Intensive exercise can cause blood glucose to drop too low. To avoid low blood glucose (hypoglycemia) when you exercise, consider :
Not familiar with carbohydrate counting? Talk with a registered dietitian about establishing a meal plan. He or she can teach you how to incorporate healthful carbohydrate foods into your meals and snacks.
Be sure to continue checking your blood glucose frequently to determine how well you were able to adjust for your exercise routine.
Take care.
