Diabetic Diet & Blood Gluecose

1. warped_dude22 Said,

   Well, i don’t compete at a high level, but i do strength training. As long as your blood sugar is in a target zone, (80-110), then you should be fine. As a matter of fact, you want it a little higher before you workout because exercise helps lower sugar levels. I think it’s more mental than anything, so don’t worry about it. If anything, maybe you’ll be in better shape now that your diet will change for the better.
