Exercise For Diabetics

Exercise is a very important part of
diabetic management for both Type 1 and Type 2
diabetics. For Type 1 diabetic regular exercise helps
to maintain insulin sensitivity, prevent the
accumulation of excess weight,and increases the use
of glucose by muscles. If you are a diabetic, exercise
should be part of your daily routine.

It is possible to prevent Type 2 diabetes by regular
exercise, supplementation with vitamins and herbs that will
help to prevent insulin resistance and proper
control of weight. Exercise help by lowering blood sugar
levels and maintaining insulin sensitivity also
help minimize several other complications that
can occur.

People with diabetes tend to have poor blood flow to
their lower areas and feet, exercise can help improve
circulation and lower blood pressure throughout the body.
The blood sugar levels will increase due to the body's
difficulty in transporting sugar into the cells
and out of the blood stream. There are several ways
to lower your blood sugar levels, including diet,
exercise, and medication.


Even though there are risks associated with
exercise, the potential benefits will outweigh
the risks. Exercise does indeed lower blood sugar
levels, so those with diabetes should measure
their blood sugar both before and after they
exercise. Since your body uses more sugar while
you exercise and makes you more sensitive to
insulin, there is a risk of blood sugar becoming
too low and causing hypoglycemia as a result.

Whenever you exercise, it is important to let
others know that you are diabetic. They should
also be informed about what they should do in
case of hypoglycemia. To be on the safe side, you
should always carry candy or fruit juice with you
to treat low blood sugar when it occurs.

During and after you have exercised, you should
pay very close attention about how you feel, since
rapid heart beat, increased sweating, feeling
shaky, or hunger can signal that your blood sugar
levels are getting too low.

With diabetic management and treatment, exercise
is very important. Exercise will help with blood
sugar control when the muscles use more glucose and
the body becomes more sensitive to insulin.
Exercise will also help to prevent and minimize
common diabetic complications which include heart
problems, high blood pressure, and circulatory
deficiencies.

You should always exercise at
a slow pace and never overdo it. Also, you
should be sure to exercise around people you know
or at a gym, so there will always be people around
you in case something goes wrong. Being a diabetic
doesn't have to hinder your life or your
performance, as exercise can help you get your life
back on track and heading in the right direction -
the healthy direction.
