In order to avoid hypoglycemia, diabetic patients should try not to exercise on an empty stomach or before meals, and it is generally better to exercise 1-2 hours after meals; for those who use insulin therapy, it is advisable to avoid exercising during the peak time of insulin action; do not drink alcohol before, during and after exercising or it may lead to hypoglycemia; once the phenomenon of hypoglycemia occurs during exercising, one should stop exercising immediately and replenish sugar or food.
