| Execise Fuel Suggestions Hi All,
These exercise and carbohydrate guidelines were in a recent edition of Diabetes Self-Management:
"If you intend to do 30 minutes of low-intensity exercise and your blood glucose is lower than 100 mg/dl, eat a snack with 15 grams of carbohydrates before you exercise."
"For 30-60 minutes of moderate intensity exercise with a bg of lower than 100, eat a snack with 20-50 grams of carbs. If your bg is between 100 and 180, eat 10-15 grams of carbs."
"If you plan to do one to two hours of strenuous exercise or activity and your bg is lower than 100 have a snack of around 50 carbs. If your bg is between 100 and 180, eat a snack of 25-50 grams of carbs."
I hope these are useful.
