Fight Diabetes with a Good Workout

Fight Diabetes with a Good Workout

Exercise can dramatically improve the lives of diabetes sufferers.

Exercise is beneficial for everyone. It boosts energy levels and reduces fatigue, and for those with diabetes, it offers even greater advantages. Here's how regular physical activity helps manage blood sugar and overall health, along with tips to get started safely.

The benefits of exercise for people with diabetes

Improves blood glucose control: Increases insulin sensitivity and helps glucose move into muscle cells.

Reduces cardiovascular risk: Lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, and helps the body use fat for energy.

Aids weight loss: Burns calories and builds muscle, improving body composition.

Boosts mental health: Helps reduce stress, improve mood, and support emotional well-being.

Prevents complications: Regular activity lowers the risk of issues like neuropathy, retinopathy, and kidney disease.

What kind of exercise should I do?

Aerobic exercises like walking, running, biking, swimming, or dancing are ideal. Strength training is also important to build muscle and improve endurance.

Always consult your doctor before starting any new workout routine.

How much exercise should I do?

Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate activity, such as brisk walking, five days per week. More is better, as long as it’s safe and not overly intense. Very strenuous workouts may temporarily raise blood sugar levels due to muscle stress.

When should I exercise?

Exercise 1 to 3 hours after eating when blood sugar levels are higher. This helps balance your levels during and after activity.

Exercise tips for people with diabetes

  1. Start small: Begin with 10–15 minutes daily and gradually build up to 30 minutes.
  2. Try different activities: Cardio (walking, biking, swimming) and strength training both offer benefits.
  3. Enjoy your workout: Choose an activity you like to stay motivated.
  4. Be consistent: Exercise at least three days per week and avoid long gaps in activity.
  5. Monitor blood glucose: Check levels before and after exercise. Eat a small snack if levels are below 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L).
  6. Stay hydrated: Drink water before, during, and after exercise.
  7. Talk to your doctor: Especially if you take insulin, as adjustments may be needed for intense or prolonged exercise.

Takeaway

Exercise offers major health benefits for people with diabetes. Aim for 30 minutes, five times a week, focusing on both aerobic and strength activities. The best time to exercise is one to three hours after a meal. Stay consistent, stay safe, and consult your doctor if you’re unsure where to start.
