Physical Activity is crucial in diabetes management
To determine how you respond to physical activity, you should track your blood sugar before, during and after physical activity.
Seek your doctor's guidance before starting any exercise regiment to determine how it might affect your blood sugar. Your doctor will explain to you what risks exist with the medication that you are taking and the physical activity that you are contemplating.
Typical recommendations from the medical literature is about 30 to 40 minutes of moderately intense physical activities per day about 3 to 5 times per week such as fast walking and spinning.
You should get your cholesterol and HbA1c checked every 6 months.
