Physical Activity & Exercise
How exercise affects blood sugar, and safe activity recommendations.
What Exercise Does in LADA
Activity helps in LADA, but its role differs from Type 2 diabetes — this is not mainly a condition of insulin resistance to be exercised away.
Activity Before and After Insulin
Exercise needs almost no planning while you are on metformin alone, and careful planning once insulin is part of your daily treatment in LADA.
Avoiding Lows During Activity
Pre-activity checks, carrying glucose and knowing about the delayed drop after exercise are what keep activity safe once LADA is treated with insulin.
Building Strength and Stamina
Keeping muscle matters particularly in LADA, and a useful strength routine needs no gym membership and no equipment beyond your own body weight.
Cautions and When to Stop
High glucose with ketones, heat, footwear and warning symptoms are the situations where exercising in LADA should wait rather than continue.
