Before beginning any new exercise programme, diabetics should speak with their doctor or a trained diabetes educator to receive individualised advice and direction.
Before, during, and after a sprint, diabetics should monitor their blood sugar levels to make sure they remain within a healthy range. To avoid hypoglycemia, they might need to modify their prescription or carbohydrate consumption.
“This may involve adjusting insulin or other medication doses, consuming a small snack before exercise, and carrying a source of glucose with them during such activity"
Wear the right shoes: To reduce the risk of foot injuries, diabetics should wear well-fitting, supportive shoes.
Warm up and cool down properly: To avoid injury and maintain healthy blood sugar levels, diabetics should warm up before running and cool down afterward.
Carry a source of glucose: Diabetics should sprint with a source of glucose on them in case they encounter hypoglycemia, such as a glucose candy.
