The Importance of Carbohydrates in Training

Exercise can have beneficial effects or counter effects on everything that we were just talking about. It makes you more insulin sensitive so you need less insulin to remove glucose from the circulation. A few real key things to think about is the quality of the source of that fuel. And again, if you're during exercise, there's a difference. If you're eating that kind of high carbohydrate fuel, when you're way far away from training and high boluses without adequate, balancing fats and healthy fats and protein, then yeah, you're definitely rolling the dice in a bad way for potential development of diabetes.
