If you experience shakiness or low blood sugar during workouts, you may need to adjust your diabetes treatment plan with your healthcare provider to ensure you have the right insulin balance for exercise. For the best exercise experience, start slowly and build up your capacity gradually. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Both aerobic and resistance exercises are beneficial for managing diabetes - they can help improve insulin sensitivity and blood glucose control. Consider working with a physiotherapist who specializes in diabetes management to develop a safe and effective workout plan.
