Health Tip: Exercising With Diabetes
By LadyLively on November 20, 2015
Participating in sports or exercising don’t have to be dangerous if you’re diabetic.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends that you:
- Talk with your doctor before you begin training or playing. Ask about any tests or supplies that may help make you safer.
- Work with your doctor to determine an appropriate blood glucose range. Check glucose often during exercise.
- Always pack a form of glucose that is easily absorbed.
- Exercise with a partner.
- Wear a medical ID bracelet that says you’re diabetic.
- Before, during and after exercise, eat plenty of healthy foods and drink enough fluids.
