Exercise
Being physically active
every day is important
for people with
diabetes. It's one of
the easiest tools you
have for keeping your
blood glucose in your
target range. If your
blood glucose is a
little high or if you
plan to eat a little
more than usual on a
certain day, you can
ride your bike a few
extra minutes or take a
walk with your best
friend. Adding more
exercise to your day can
cut down on the number
of "highs" you
have.
Exercise is also a
proven weapon against
hyperglycemia. It
doesn't matter what kind
of exercise you do; they
all make your body work
harder. When your body
works harder, it needs
more energy, or fuel. As
you know by now, that
energy comes from
glucose.
Plus, your body is
made to be active.
People who exercise
regularly usually feel
better than people who
don't. Their muscles are
stronger, they don't get
out of breath as easily,
and they may even be in
a better mood after
exercising.
