FOR DIABETIC PATIENTS ONLY Q. What should be done before exercise? A. Before exercising people with diabetes need to make sure that their blood glucose levels are in a safe range, usually between 150 mg/dL and 250 mg/dL. If the blood glucose level is close to or below 100mg/dL, then take 15 grams of carbohydrate, wait for 15 minutes and check again - 15 grams of carbohydrate equals to 1-2 teaspoons of sugar or honey or half a cup of fruit juice or 1 banana. If the blood glucose is higher than 250mg/dL, then consultation with a doctor is required. Always start your exercise routine with a warm up of 5 – 10 minutes.
