The button below provides a series of tables containing suggestions for how you can adjust your food and insulin intake - before, during and after exercise - in order to stabilize your blood glucose level and feel your best.
- Each table in the series contains three differently coloured rows, corresponding to the different types of exercise (anaerobic / resistance; aerobic; and mixed).
- In some cases, the same food or insulin suggestions apply to all three types of exercise.
- There are seven tables in the series, each applying to a different time period relative to when you're exercising.
