Despite physical activity being key in the management and prevention of diabetes, many with this chronic disease do not become or remain regularly active. Exercise should be an important part of your treatment plan.
Regular participation in physical activity improves blood sugar (glucose) control. It will also help your body better use the insulin your body continues to make, and improve your cholesterol levels. Keeping your blood glucose levels within a healthy range will prevent long-term complications such as nerve pain and kidney diseases.
Exercise has many benefits such as improving your mood and helping keep the weight off. By far, the most important one if you have type 2 diabetes is to help you control your blood sugar level.
people with diabetes should be encouraged to do any sport or activity they enjoy, within the parameters of what is safe for them.
Exercise can affect blood sugar levels both during and after exercise.
If you take medication which could lead to a hypo, it’s a good idea to check your blood glucose levels before during and after exercise, and carry hypo treatment when exercising.
