People with complications should seek medical advice before embarking on exercise programmes. In people with limited mobility, advice on exercise whilst seated may be appropriate. Above all encourage the individual to choose an activity which they will enjoy.
Coping with Physical Activity For people treated with insulin it is advisable to monitor blood glucose before and after exercise. Blood glucose levels may fall up to 36 hours after exercise, increasing the risk of hypos overnight or even the next day.
Additional carbohydrate may be required — quantity, timing, and type of carbohydrate will vary depending on the activity and duration. A reduction in insulin dose may also be required depending on the activity and the duration For people on oral hypoglycaemic agents, it is usually unnecessary to reduce these although people who are tightly controlled on a sulphonylurea may experience hypoglycaemia during prolonged exercise eg golf.
People taking part in high intensity sporting activities may require specialist advice. This group of individuals may find the following website useful; Runsweet.
