STOP Sugar Spikes During Exercise!

Welcome, health champions! Dr. Ergin here, your partner in navigating the intricacies of diabetes. Today, we're shedding light on the fascinating connection between exercise and blood sugar spikes in diabetics. Join us as we unravel the science, explore potential risks, and discuss proactive strategies for a healthier, more active lifestyle.

Why does exercise spike blood sugar in diabetics? It's all about the hormonal game on our body's football field. Adrenaline, cortisol, and glucagon (our strikers) come into play, aiming to supply glucose to muscle cells. In diabetics, insulin (our goalie) struggles to keep up, leading to temporary spikes. Stay tuned to discover how to get insulin back in the game and maintain blood sugar control. Exercise-induced blood sugar spikes are temporary, usually occurring during or after physical activity. However, poorly controlled diabetes or specific medications may lead to prolonged drops in blood sugar levels after exercise. Vigilant monitoring is key to managing this hormonal tug-of-war effectively.

Finding a balance between managing blood sugar levels and staying physically active is crucial. Diabetics should check blood sugar levels before exercise, adjusting activities based on readings. Communication with healthcare teams is vital for personalized recommendations and medication adjustments. Introducing Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs), your reliable commentator in the world of diabetes management. CGMs track blood sugar levels in real-time, offering insights into the impact of exercise. With a CGM, you can make informed adjustments to meals, exercise routines, and medications, ensuring a smoother ride in the blood sugar game.

Despite potential challenges, staying physically active is essential for overall health. Exercise improves blood sugar control, reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke, and enhances mood and energy levels. Don't fear blood sugar spikes; with proper precautions and healthcare team collaboration, you can embrace the benefits of an active lifestyle.

Another informative video. Thanks dr. I watched your videos after jeopardy. I do try most of the things you said, and the information is very helpful. I've been watching for the past 5months. Lost 12 lbs and .4 points off my A1C, I exercise 5 to 6 times a week. 30 mins. Like to read the comments from your viewers. Thanks🙏🙏

This happened to me today and it was confusing. My sugar spike about 60 points when working out in a fasted state and my Dexcom started beeping and gave me the warning. After watching your video I had a better understanding of why it was happening. Tomorrow I will try to keep my heart rate lower and not work out so intensely. Thank you for video.

Hey doc i have a question.. When i see the spike in my blood sugar during excercise should i take fast acting insulin to correct it?

[raysaunier]

Is there such a thing as “too much” exercise for a diabetic? I work out a great deal most days.

[jamesmorton]

My sugar goes from 100 to 140 with exercise prior to breakfast. As soon as I eat a low glycemic meal it starts to return to the previous level. My organs pump more sugar into my body than the food I eat.

Hi dr, is injecting insulin just before starting exercises for the day, example i inject my night insulin at around 10pm and at 10:01pm i start doing my exercises. Will that contribute to a blood sugar spike? Been doing that for months but lately im experiencing spikes that also stay elevated till morning so im worried. Last night i exercised about 2 hours after dinner, but injected my night insulin just prior to starting the exercises. Around 1 hour after exercising i checked my blood sugar and it was pretty high at 9.5. Then i waited for another hour to test again after having my bath. It dropped to 7.2 which is an okay number. Went to sleep and the 1st check in the morning showed it had bounced back to 9. Quite strange, never experienced this before. Appreciate any inputs. Thanks.
