Expert warns nighttime exercise risky for diabetics

Diabetes specialist Dr. Abdulrahman Bukhari has warned about the risks of nighttime exercise for people with diabetes.

Writing on his X account, Dr. Bukhari said, "Exercising at night can expose diabetic patients to frequent and severe episodes of low blood sugar during sleep."

He explained that this risk is especially high for people with type 1 diabetes, and to a lesser extent for those with type 2 diabetes who use insulin or certain pancreas-stimulating medications.
