A member asked:
Which is better before exercise simple or complex (light to moderate) carbohydrates if diabetic? why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complex is better: Complex is always better because simple will just elevate your blood sugars and increase the water absorption without offering you longterm glucose support. Generally, unless you are a professional athlete, a normal diet before exercise is sufficient and doesn't have to be carbohyudrate heavy.
