Workout and weight loss on wheels- with diabetes

First, do not diet without talking to a medical professional because blood sugar levels may fluctuate even more rapidly when dieting. However, losing weight can result in decreasing or eliminating the need for insulin, that's a real incentive. Cut 500 calories- 30% fat, 50-55% carbohydrates, 10-15% protein is a good ratio. Be careful that by implementing this equation you do not develop ketosis. This is where body uses fat to fuel tissue rather than carbohydrates, as a result eyes, liver, heart, and kidneys have added stress. Insulin dosage or pills must match new blood sugar levels. High blood sugar can develop when your body's insulin level is too low to control blood sugar. Low blood sugar can develop because cutting calories affects blood sugar levels. Exercise can help balance blood sugar levels so you don't have to decrease as many calories- different exercises affect levels differently. Aerobics affect levels quicker than walking, or lifting weights. Exercise burn sugar stored in muscle and in the liver.
