Exercise Regularly

Exercise is also an important part of diabetes treatment. Regular physical activity helps keep blood sugar levels in a healthy range. It can also reduce the risk of other health problems that people with diabetes may be more likely to get, like heart disease and cancer.
Most types of exercise are great for people with type 1 diabetes — from walking the dog or riding a bike to playing team sports. Just be sure that you exercise every day to get the most benefits.
You can talk to your diabetes health care team about planning your exercise along with your meals and insulin. They'll offer specific suggestions to help you get ready for exercise or join a sport and give you written instructions to help you respond to any diabetes problems that may occur during exercise, like hypoglycemia (pronounced: hi-po-gly-see-me-uh) (low blood sugar), or hyperglycemia (pronounced: hi-per-gly-see-me-uh) (high blood sugar).
