Step 8: Managing physical activity

Engaging in physical exercise is extremely beneficial as it can enhance overall wellbeing, both physically and mentally. Additionally, it can aid in maintaining good health in the long run. Nonetheless, individuals with diabetes may tend to avoid exercise because they fear hypoglycemia. However, with appropriate precautions, there is no need to fear exercise. In fact, there are many elite athletes with type 1 diabetes who serve as examples. It is important to note that determining the correct dose adjustments and carbohydrate intake can require some experimentation and may differ significantly among individuals.

It's important to consider the intensity and duration of your workout when determining if you need to consume additional carbohydrates during exercise.
