Include at least 8 to10 resistance exercises using your major muscle groups on 2 or more nonconsecutive days a week.
Balancing Exercise Blood Glucose
Taking in carbohydrate or other food during exercise may enhance performance in some events and keep your blood glucose from dropping excessively, especially when your insulin is higher.
Endurance Sports
When exercising for long periods of time, like when competing in a triathlon, you will likely need to combine insulin reductions with greater food intake to maintain your blood glucose.
