    Physical activity can also be affected by changes in schedule. If you are used to a lunchtime jog, but a noontime lunch meeting keeps you from your normal routine, your blood glucose will probably be higher that afternoon. You can compensate by eating less, or, if you’re taking insulin, by injecting a little more insulin than usual. If you take your run later in the day, you may find it necessary to eat a larger snack than usual.
