Frequently asked question: Can you exercise when you have diabetes?

Yes, in fact, it is good to exercise on a regular basis. It helps to keep your weight under control and you feel fitter. Sport reduces the need for insulin. Sports also regulates stress, and that is important because stress can deteriorate your blood glucose levels as well.
When you play sports, you use extra energy, therefore your muscles need more fuel. As a result, your blood sugar level may drop so make sure you bring something to eat to avoid low blood sugar levels after exercise.
