WHAT TYPES OF EXERCISE ARE GOOD TO KEEP IN SHAPE?
Exercise certainly is the best way to help you body regulate your blood sugar. However, you need not become an exercise fanatic; most people with hypoglycemia cannot tolerate extended exercise sessions. Brisk walking, low key biking, skiing and swimming may be the best exercises for everyone’s circulation and to keep in shape rather than jogging, running, long distance biking, and long periods of strenuous weight lifting. Some weight lifting or weight bearing exercise is good to help to keep your bones strong and help prevent osteoporosis. 30-40 minutes exercise a few times a week keeps your body up and running (or whatever sport you like).
