4. Avoid exercise when blood sugar levels are low, so check blood sugar levels before and after exercise
5. Try to eat high-carbohydrate about 15 minutes before exercise
6. When you exercise wear cotton socks and shoes that fit and are comfortable, after completion foot check whether there are cuts, abrasions, irritation or other injury for people with diabetes tend to be more immune (numb)
