Activity Can Help Control Diabetes. So Let’s get Moving!
How Will exercise Help?
Exercise helps lower your blood sugar. Active muscle can use glucose (blood sugar) without insulin being present. Inactive muscle must have insulin present to get glucose into its cells. Exercise helps you lose weight. Being overweight makes it harder for your cells to use insulin, a condition called insulin resistance. Shedding extra pounds can help you control your glucose levels. Losing weight also helps you avoid other health problems. A regular exercise program may help some people with type 2 diabetes decrease–or even stop–insulin or oral medication use. Tripletrack.personaladvantage.com I have to be honest.. I haven’t been getting my exercise in lately. So this weekend I started mall walking again ( I power walk). I promised myself to go at least three times a week for now and I will walk for at least a half hour. Also, I will make sure that I park far away from the stores that I go to such as grocery, dept stores ect. I am asking those of you who aren’t involved with a regular exercise program do the same. As always you should consult your doctor before starting any kind of new activity.
Before and after exercising, measure your blood glucose level. Doing this will help you find out if it’s safe for you to exercise. “I thought that this sounded a little strange, but according to triple track the website that I provided above, you should not exercise if your blood sugar level is high (greater than 300). This is a sign that your diabetes is out of control. If your blood sugar level is that high then you really need to get with your Doctor to find out what kind of activity is safe for you to do because you really need to be doing something. They also suggest that you have a small snack, such as a piece of fruit, before exercising. Also, you want to drink plenty of water, which I hope that most of you are already doing.
Can I count on you to promise to get more active starting this month?
