Here are a few tips.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Carry treatment for hypoglycemia (low blood sugar):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can be as dangerous as high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) or even more as hyperglycemia is harmful in long term but hypoglycemia could even be life threatening instantaneously. Therefore, to prevent hypoglycemia make sure you have a light snack before exercising or carry candies\/sugar\/glucose biscuits\/juice with you.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Remember that these options are for emergency and their quantities must not be exceeded than the amount required to bring the sugar levels back to normal.)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Choose proper footwear: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing a good and comfortable footwear will help in preventing diabetic foot disease. Replace them when they wear out.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Check blood glucose often: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frequently checking blood glucose levels especially before and after the exercise can give a fair idea about how quickly or slowly the sugar levels tend to fall and thus can help in strategizing a better exercise routine.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Choose exercises wisely: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients with diabetic neuropathy who can\u2019t feel their feet should avoid doing pounding exercises as they may damage feet without any awareness. Choose an exercise that you enjoy and can stick with but not a totally leisure one. An appropriate exercise would be one that can be performed comfortably for a significant period of time. Avoid opting heavy exercises to which your body is not accustomed rather increase the intensity of the exercises makes you breathe harder than usual.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Try to walk at least 10,000 steps a day: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can include walks, jogging, taking a flight of stairs instead of elevator, parking your car at the farthest parking slot and staying more mobile throughout the day.<\/span><br \/>\n<b>Wear an ID bracelet: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if you take precautions to avoid any complications while exercising make sure to carry an ID with basic details (name, address etc.) and with phone numbers of the people who can be contacted in case of any emergency.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Important:\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"s1\">Accurate glucose monitoring is the foundation of any diabetes management plan. 1mg is committed to make glucose testing easier and more accurate.
