• Exercise for Uncontrolled Diabetics

If you are an insulin dependent diabetic, at times when your diabetes is out of control your physician will tell you that the presence of ketones in your urine is an indication that your body is not using glucose from your bloodstream appropriately. When you exercise, your blood glucose automatically rises in response to your body's call for more energy. Such a rise, coupled with your body's inability to use glucose, could lead to even greater hyperglycemia. But you may have ketones in your urine after doing exercise glucose to keep the blood sugar normal. When this occurs, extra food, not insulin, is necessary.
