Q&A

Be honest but light-hearted! Explaining that you’re managing your blood sugar is perfectly normal. You can even suggest bringing a dish that you can enjoy while helping others understand that managing diabetes is a part of your life, not something to be ashamed of.

While in some cases dehydration can lead to high blood glucose, drinking water will not actively lower your blood glucose levels. It is important to stay hydrated, but when glucose levels are elevated the most effective treatment options are short acting insulin or physical activity. Consult with your medical team to discuss this further.

Both cardio and strength-building exercises are beneficial for managing type 2 diabetes. Cardio helps improve heart health, burn calories, and lower blood sugar levels quickly. Strength training, on the other hand, increases muscle mass, boosts metabolism, and enhances insulin sensitivity over time. Always consult your medical team before commencing a new or different exercise regime. By A Fitness Professional, Krakow.
