Cleaning with Diabetes

I love cleaning but lately it makes my blood sugar drop significantly. Does this happen for anyone else? I live in the Boston area. I’ve thought about hiring a cleaning service.

lots of stuff can drop your blood sugar… I just take less insulin when I am thinking of doing one of them. hope this helps.

Cleaning can use a good amount of energy, depending on how hard you work at it. Maybe your putting in more energy than before, or your body is responding differently. As with more “traditional” exercises such as biking or working out at the gym, you may need to adjust your insulin. It may take some trial and error. If you’re not familiar and comfortable with doing it on your own, check with your doctor for guidance.
