Hello everyone.

My physical exercise is not too remarkable (1 hour and peak walking almost every day), but a doubt arises:

When is exercise or sport more recommended in general?: Mornings, before lunch or late-night?

Or is perhaps indifferent?

Thank you.

Intense exercise is not recommended before sleeping.The rest, because it is recommended for each person to come well, there is no indication for all people the same.

You will have to see it, according to the amount of exercise and if there are hypos later.
What is recommended that it is always at the same time.

Thanks for the contributions.

I was also thinking about the effectiveness of weight, for example.That is, perhaps in the morning we consume less calories and after lunch, more.So maybe physical activity is more "necessary" after lunch.I don't know.

While you do digestion, you better not exercise strong...

If your daily routine and work allow you, I would prefer in the morning.

I think it depends on each one.In general I would tell you that with active fast insulin it is not a good idea to play sports.In my case it is crazy because they give me hypos.Without fast insulin it is quite indifferent, it affects me similar.For my schedules I do it late in the afternoon but on vacation or weekends I have tried at other times and I do not notice differences.But there will be people who notice it.I think there is no answer to that question, it will depend on each person.So it is best to try and see what best suits your particular case if you can choose time.

In my case it is better to do it in the afternoon because it is when glucose tends me to the discharge so as they have already said, it depends on each person.

Hello, the schedule and intensity will depend on you and your eating habits and routines.For example, where I live the ideal would be in the mornings but for work it becomes quite difficult, so and the afternoon is also complicated a bit because the family is etc.So I have basically flexible my routines to do them as allowed by the schedule.If I can leave in the middle of the morning I put about two or three hours of bicycle, as I feel.In that case breakfast well and carry snacks and energy drink to hydrate.If I leave after lunch, because I may have a moderate to light, just a little cardio.That keeps me the metabolism awake.In the afternoon if that day grabs my exercise routine, because I do it as a walk.I do the same when I swim, Time Swimming 15 to 20 minutes to a comfortable, enough step.Strong food breakfast or lunch.Light dinner. My glucose before and after the routine from time to time.So I know my body reactions according to the intensity of exercise and make my adjustments in the food.

If they take Humalog.Do not exercise after taking it.On the other hand, you can try not to take it and exercise.Thus you can know how your exercise lowers glucose naturally, you can lower the dose of Humalog.So you know your natural reactions.

While we exercise what kind of food can we carry to avoid declines ???
I go for a walk an hour and a half and I get the levels down, but taking basal insulin, I am afraid to have a straw and I have no experience.The little I have tried has already given me down and I had to stop.
Thank you

@Susal I usually wear a small backpack with my "pots" to monitor control, I also carry sugar and glucose gel, sometimes I take water and even glucagon, but that depends on the time and effort that will do.
