Before Exercise : Check your blood sugar before your workout. Before jumping into a fitness program, get your doctor’s approval to exercise – especially if you’ve been inactive. Discuss with your doctor the activities you’re contemplating and the best time to exercise, as well as the potential impact of medications on your blood sugar as you become more active.
For the best health benefits, experts recommend 150 minutes a week of moderately intense physical activities such as :
Fast Walking
Lap Swimming
Bicycling
If you’re taking insulin or medications that can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), test your blood sugar 30 minutes before exercising and again immediately before exercising. This will help you determine if your blood sugar level is stable, rising or falling and if it’s safe to exercise.
