Are there any special items needed to start an exercise program?
If a person is taking medication to control their diabetes it’s important they carry some fast-acting carbohydrate (regular soda, glucose tablets, cake icing) with them at all times in case they suffer an insulin reaction. You also need a meter so you can test your blood glucose levels. If you’re taking medication it’s important t`o wear some type of medical identification in case you have low blood sugar and are unconscious. Emergency personnel will need to know you have diabetes in order to give you the appropriate treatment.
