For most people with diabetes, the safest time to exercise is one to three hours after eating, when blood sugar levels are naturally higher. If you exercise right before a meal or when your fast-acting insulin is at its peak, your risk of a sudden low (hypoglycemia) increases significantly. Always check your blood sugar before starting a workout. If it is below 100 mg/dL, eat a small carbohydrate snack before beginning your activity.
