🌟From Fear to Fit: Here's How to Manage Blood Sugar During Exercise with Type 1 Diabetes🏋️‍♀️👇🏽

Exercising should be straightforward, but it's often felt like a nightmare for me. Within just 10 minutes of starting a workout, my blood sugar plummets. When I stop, it skyrockets, and during the night, it drops dangerously low. This rollercoaster ride has discouraged me from exercising for years 😓.

Imagine my shock when I discovered that over 60% of people with Type 1 diabetes don’t exercise because they share this fear of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)🤯. It was somewhat comforting to know I wasn't alone, but also alarming given how vital exercise is for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease among diabetics.

Since I started using Haema, which syncs with my health data, I've noticed a pattern: exercising in the late afternoon or evening triggered this nightmare, while morning workouts kept my blood sugar much more stable 🌞.

Intrigued, I dove into the science behind this phenomenon and discovered three key factors that can help anyone manage their blood sugar while exercising: timing, order, and type of exercise‼️. These insights have been game-changing for me, and I'm excited to share them with you!

Let’s dive in and explore how you can make exercise a safe and effective part of your routine 🏃‍♀️💪
