Studies found that exercising 30 minutes a day reduces your risk of diabetes by 25 percent, and walking for 10 minutes after meals lowers your blood sugar by 22 percent.
Yes, its important that blood sugar levels dip lower than usual but not as low as hypoglycemia.
The blood sugar level rises immediately after a meal or snack in diabetics. In healthy individuals insulin is secreted to keep the blood glucose levels below 100mg/dl for good control.
Blood sugar usually decreases after exercise it does not increase. However, if you notice it increasing then consult a diabetelogist.
