Lifestyle
Exercise Timing and Snacking
for Hypoglycaemia
Timing exercise appropriately and having a carbohydrate snack before or during exercise to prevent exercise-induced hypoglycaemia.
How it works
Exercise increases glucose uptake by muscles. In insulin-dependent diabetes this can cause significant hypoglycaemia without adequate carbohydrate intake.
What to watch for
Exercise hypoglycaemia can be delayed (occurring hours after exercise). Monitor glucose before, during and after. Adjust insulin if needed.
