Can Exercise Help Control Diabetes?
My blood sugar levels are high in the morning sometimes as high as 170. When I eat I recover without any problem and the rest of the day I seem to control everything with diet and exercise. I am on Metformin.750 mg lunch and dinner . Can exercise when I first wake up help my fasting levels drop before I have time for breakfast.? Thank you
