Diabetics Variations
Diabetes Variation During Exercise
Type one diabetics are more prone to hypoglycemia. Always keep sweets with you if you have warning signs, like palpation, hunger, too much sweating, not wait to check the glucometer take the sweets.
Family teaching:
Whether it’s type I or type II diabetes exercise is an integral part of sugar control. However, some special precautions should be taken regarding exercise in type I diabetes. A balance should be given between insulin and physical activity, even there is minor physical activity.
Diabetics
We recommend that patients get guess what is the response of their sugar with exercise.
- How is the drop in sugar
- How much insulin should be given?
- Avoid too much hypoglycemia.
- Keep sweets with you during exercise.
- There is a slight variation in response to express it in different patients.
- Avoiding hypoglycemia.
Contact your doctor if you experience frequent episodes of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) or struggle to control your blood glucose—whether it’s too high or too low consistently. Timely guidance helps prevent complications.
Exercise can raise glucose due to stress hormones. If your sugar is high, avoid exercise—especially if ketones are in your urine—as it may lead to diabetic ketoacidosis. If no ketones are present and you feel well, light exercise is safe.
Decide on the intensity of your exercise and check your insulin dose and blood sugar. Be prepared for hypoglycemia. Monitor post-exercise glucose and anticipate drops. If sugar is 100–110 mg/dl, take a carb snack before starting.
Your healthcare provider helps balance insulin, food, and activity. They guide you on insulin doses, meal plans, and preventing lows. At DIP, our expert doctors and dietitians are here to support your diabetes management journey.
