Jogging is good for diabetics but needs to be combined with appropriate diet, medication and exercise to avoid hypoglycemia.

- Hypoglycemia is a bad health condition for diabetics. Therefore, diabetics who have injected insulin should not run on an empty stomach to avoid hypoglycemia.
- Diabetics should monitor their blood sugar before, during and after running to avoid blood sugar levels dropping too low (hypoglycemia) or rising too high (hyperglycemia). It is best to have a light snack before running.
- Diabetics should consult a doctor for a general health check-up and advice on exercise intensity and appropriate medication or insulin regimen adjustments. This action also helps detect and prevent potential complications of diabetes such as cardiovascular disease, nerve and eye damage, as these complications can increase the risk of injury when running.
- People with diabetes should start with short, gentle jogging sessions, then gradually increase the intensity. Exercising at a moderate intensity and regularly will help the body adapt better, while reducing the risk of sudden hypoglycemia during or after exercise.
