But did you also know that just one session of walking you can lower your blood sugar by 20 to 30%? Diabetic or not, many people these days are coming closer and closer to having high blood sugar levels, by a combination of not eating healthy and not exercising. Tips for keeping your blood sugars in a good range while exercising are to eat something 30 minutes before your walk (so your numbers don’t drop to low with your increased metabolism), check you blood sugar levels before and after every walk (to prevent drops), and walk at least every other day. One a routine habit is introduced to your system, your sugar levels will start to stay at a healthy level. Just remember, once you take just one day off, it can take months to get back on the saddle!
