Is it okay for diabetic patients on insulin to exercise after meals?

Story of Reporter Kim Seo-hee
 
 

Is post-meal exercise beneficial for diabetic patients who are on insulin therapy? We explored this related question.

I am a diabetic taking ultra-rapid insulin. I exercise after meals to control my blood sugar, but I am worried about overlapping with the insulin's action time.

 

Q. How should diabetic patients who receive insulin injections exercise?

 

A. Insulin response varies from person to person... regularly check blood sugar levels.

 
 

The effects of exercise vary depending on the time of day.

 

For diabetic patients who need to manage their blood sugar levels, post-meal exercise is recommended.

 

Because it can bring the elevated blood sugar levels after meals back within the normal range.

 

To lower post-meal blood sugar levels, exercising about an hour after starting to eat is effective.

 

Right after a meal, blood is directed more towards the stomach and intestines rather than the muscles to aid in digestion.

 

Exercising at this time reduces workout efficiency.

 

However, if you are using ultra-rapid insulin, it is recommended to consult with your primary care physician to develop an exercise plan.

 

Because the rate at which post-meal blood sugar levels decrease varies from person to person due to medication.

 

Post-meal blood sugar should be maintained between 120 and 130. If your post-meal blood sugar drops below 100, then,

You need to reduce the insulin dosage.

 

Running after meals is also dangerous.

 

It is because hypoglycemia can occur if not careful. Monitor blood sugar levels and set the exercise time and intensity accordingly.

 

It is advisable to prepare a snack to eat during exercise, even after meals, to prevent hypoglycemia.

 

============

 

I saw your mom's friend...

Always carry chocolates and candies in your bag.

 

You are working hard on your health as well.

They say low blood sugar is also scary.

    운동도 쉽지 않아지죠. 건강하려면 운동을 하라는데
    운동을 하면 몸이 더 안좋아지는 병도 있어서 어려워요.
