Yes, but the benefits far outweigh the risks. Exercise changes the way your body reacts to insulin. Regular exercise makes your body more sensitive to insulin, and your blood sugar level may get too low (called hypoglycemia) after exercising. You may need to check your blood sugar level before and after exercising. Your doctor can tell you what your blood sugar level should be before and after exercise.

If your blood sugar level is too low or too high right before you plan to exercise, it's better to wait until the level improves. It is especially important to watch your blood sugar level if you exercise in really hot or cold conditions, because the temperature changes how your body absorbs insulin.

Thanks a lot for both of you.

You're very welcome! My pronunciation is correct. My grandmother was diabetic and suffered from this condition. I've heard it used many times by doctors and nurses.

Sorry if I pronounced it wrong then! I only said it that way because I remember someone saying it that way, I must have internalized the wrong thing. ^_^
