.Exercise to Flatten Your Glucose Curve: SIBIONICS CGM Helps Personalize Your Exercise Plan
Did you know that exercise not only strengthens your body but also effectively manages your glucose levels? For those who are health-conscious, especially those who need to control their glucose, understanding the impact of exercise on glucose is crucial. This article will delve into the relationship between exercise and glucose, and combined with the SIBIONICS Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system, provide you with a more personalized exercise plan to help you shape a stable glucose curve.
Exercise and Glucose: A Two-Way Influence
The impact of exercise on glucose is two-way, depending on the type of exercise, intensity, duration, and individual’s physical condition.
Aerobic Exercise: Such as running, swimming, cycling, etc., can improve the body’s sensitivity to insulin, promote glucose utilization, thereby lowering glucose levels.
Strength Training: Such as weightlifting, squats, etc., can increase muscle mass, increase basal metabolic rate, and in the long run, help improve glucose control.
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): Short-term high-intensity exercise may cause a temporary increase in glucose levels, but it will quickly decrease afterward, and in the long run, it can improve insulin sensitivity.
SIBIONICS CGM: Your Personalized Exercise Guide
Everyone’s body reacts differently to different exercises. By using the SIBIONICS CGM, you can monitor changes in glucose levels in real-time before and after exercise, so you can understand which exercises are most beneficial for your glucose management. SIBIONICS CGM can help you:
Identify the Best Time to Exercise: Understand which time of day exercising has the best effect on your glucose control.
Adjust Exercise Intensity and Duration: Find the exercise intensity and duration that best suits you, avoiding glucose levels that are too high or too low.
Evaluate the Impact of Different Exercise Types: Compare the impact of different exercise types on your glucose levels and choose the exercise method that suits you best.
Optimize Dietary Strategies: Combine exercise and diet to develop a more comprehensive glucose management plan.
How to Use SIBIONICS CGM to Optimize Your Exercise Plan?
Pre-Exercise Monitoring: Use SIBIONICS CGM to monitor your glucose levels before exercise to understand your starting state.
During-Exercise Monitoring: During exercise, regularly check the data from SIBIONICS CGM to understand the changing trends of glucose levels.
Post-Exercise Monitoring: After exercise, continue to monitor your glucose levels to understand the long-term effects of exercise.
Record Exercise Data: Record your exercise type, intensity, duration, and SIBIONICS CGM data to analyze the impact of exercise on your glucose levels.
Adjust Exercise Plan: Based on the data from SIBIONICS CGM and your analysis results, adjust your exercise plan to find the exercise method that suits you best.
Exercise Precautions
Consult a Doctor: Before starting a new exercise plan, especially if you have diabetes or other health problems, consult a doctor.
Progress Gradually: Gradually increase exercise intensity and duration to avoid overexertion.
Stay Hydrated: Pay attention to replenishing water during exercise to avoid dehydration.
Carry First Aid Items: If you are prone to low glucose, carry some first aid items with you, such as glucose tablets or juice.
Regular BGM Checks: Regularly use a blood glucose meter (BGM) to perform finger-prick glucose testing and compare it with SIBIONICS CGM data to ensure data accuracy.
Conclusion
Exercise is an important means of managing glucose levels, and SIBIONICS CGM is a powerful tool to help you personalize your exercise plan. By using SIBIONICS CGM, you can better understand the impact of exercise on your glucose, develop a more scientific exercise plan, shape a stable glucose curve, and thereby improve your overall health.
