Exercise is a key part of managing diabetes. Exercise can help you:

• Improve your blood sugar levels.
• Boost your overall fitness.
• Manage your weight.
• Lower your risk of heart disease and stroke.
• Improve your well-being.

But diabetes and exercise pose unique challenges. To exercise safely, some people with diabetes need to track their blood sugar before, during and after physical activity. This shows how the body responds to exercise. And it can help prevent blood sugar swings that could be dangerous.
