Fitness is the first line of defense when it comes to diabetes.
Exercise can help control blood glucose levels because more glucose is absorbed
from the bloodstream during physical activity. The American Diabetes Association recommends people with
diabetes do at least 30 minutes of physical activity a day to improve symptoms. People with type 2 diabetes have a lot to gain from
exercise. Losing weight can actually stimulate the pancreas to produce insulin.
Researchers previously thought beta cells in the pancreas that stopped
producing insulin were done forever, but a study shows they could begin
functioning again. In the study, patients who exercised and ate only 600
calories a day regained pancreas function. This suggests exercising or eating
the right amount can reverse some diabetes symptoms.
A diet of 600 calories is not a lot. Patients in the study
only accomplished the feat with liquid diet drinks and vegetables. People with
diabetes can benefit by eating fewer calories and burning off some through
exercise. Anyone seeking to begin a drastic exercise or diet routine
should talk with their doctor or a personal trainer first. Remember even a
little regular exercise can have a huge impact on diabetes. Exercise lowers the
risk of heart disease in addition to lowering blood sugar. In the modern world, with diabetes medications readily
available, it's easy to forget how beneficial exercise really is.
People who exercise can lower their blood sugar and may not
need to take oral medication. That's good news for anyone who wants to avoid
dangerous medications like the type 2 drug Actos. Actos complications
have been linked to bladder cancer and congestive heart failure, and thousands
of lawsuits have been filed. People looking to safely manage symptoms should remember
that exercise plays a key role in diabetes health and overall health.
