    Dr. Mehmet Oz answered:

    If you have type 2 diabetes, pay attention to warning flags during your workout such as:

    • Change in heartbeat
    • Increased sweating
    • Feeling shaky, anxious, or hungry
    • Dizziness

    Your doctor can tell you what to do in these situations and may suggest that you keep a light snack nearby to treat hypoglycemia.
