Principle #2 for Good Glycemic Control

Principle #1 Carbohydrate tolerance

Principle #2 Exercise

Exercise is an important part of maintaining healthy blood sugar. While any exercise is better than none, resistance exercise is typically the best for blood sugar.  If no restrictions are present, high intensity interval training can a very effective form of resistance exercise.   While exercise is beneficial for blood sugar, be careful that exercise is not overdone as that can disrupt blood sugar (I will discuss this in our next principle).  Some of the most common signs that you are overdoing exercise are fatigue, and poor quality sleep. Stay tuned for five more balancing blood sugar principles.
