Recommendations for Exercise and Lifestyle

Type 1 Diabetics are capable and can live a nice and healthy life. In this post, I will be talking about some Exercises that are appropriate for Diabetics and some connections between exercise and insulin levels.

Caution: When a Type 1 Diabetic is exercising it is likely for their blood sugar to run low over a period of time. Now you might be wondering, "How will they know their Blood Sugar is running low?" The answer to that question is they will feel a symptom or varieties of symptoms. Some of these Symptoms include feeling Shaky, Sweaty, Hungry, Dizzy, Weak or Tired, and more.

What to do when low: The proper thing to do when you're feeling that you have Low Blood sugar is that you should STOP EXERCISING, Check your blood sugar, eat a snack (Amount varies on Blood Sugar Reading), Rest, and then continue to exercise if you'd like when you're feeling better.

Recommended Exercises: The exercises you perform are pretty much up to you. Limit yourself to what your body can actually handle but also do certain exercises like Yoga, Cardio Exercise, Strength and Development exercises, and more.
