Before Training | During Training | After Training |
---|---|---|
Considering exercise type, length, intensity. Timing according to meals and glycemic trend. | Monitoring glycemia levels, especially if the activity exceeds 1 h. | Carbohydrates (CHO) are necessary to reconstitute muscular and liver glycogen sources. Liquids and sodium are necessary for rehydration. |
Tools for CGM, equipped with increase and decrease glycemic indicators. | Consuming small quantities of CHO with different absorption speeds. | Proteins are necessary to repair and assemble muscular tissue, in response to the workout. |
Planning glycemic controls every 45 min–1 h. | Checking glycemia approximately every 30 min after training to establish the appropriate CHO requirement. | Awareness of the risk of late hypoglycemia > up to 48 h later. |
