Exercise And Diabetes

Just about anywhere you go when you are looking for
information about how to get control of your diabetes, you    
will find the need to get good exercise. While this may not
be desirable advice to some, it still needs to be heeded.
Exercise is one of the best things you can do to bring                     
diabetes under control.   

                                                                  

It is very important that you realize how dangerous
something like diabetes can be if it is not controlled.
That’s right the danger is in not controlling it. Many
people have it, and still enjoy life as much as they did
before they were diagnosed. The key for them, is that
they have taken some necessary steps to bring it under
control.If you are diagnosed with prediabetes, then you still have
time to make changes that may stop the advance of
diabetes altogether. Many people succeed at this. Since
they were able to move quickly, they brought it under
control and reduced the (and possible even avoided) the
potential harm that diabetes can cause.

Exercise is extremely beneficial to most people with          
diabetes because it will help you to lose weight and
to prepare your body to utilize insulin better. In most cases,
people on the verge of getting diabetes, or who have just
been diagnosed with it, are at least a little overweight.

This extra weight around the middle section actually helps
form the conditions that create diabetes. This is even truer
if you have high blood pressure, and a possible cholesterol
problem. As we discussed in a previous issue this creates
a situation called metabolic syndrome, which makes the
cells in that part of your body more insulin resistant.

By losing a little weight, in most cases only about 8 to
10 pounds, you will be able to regain better insulin use.
Besides that there are many other health benefits gained
as well. This includes reduced blood pressure and
cholesterol, which means that there is less of a risk for
heart problems, too.

While those health benefits are great there are even
more to be enjoyed. People who exercise, especially
diabetics who exercise, can also expect to live a longer
life than diabetics who do not. They also will have better
circulation, better mobility, and feel better about
themselves.

Exercise also provides you with a greater sense of well
being. This is partly due to the fact that a good exercise
program causes endorphins to be produced in the body
which can make you feel better for several hours after
your workout.

If you have diabetes, or prediabetes, it is very important
to start immediately on your personal exercise program.
As we have discussed before this should consist of about
30 minutes a day and can include most any form of activity.
If you are just getting started with exercise, it may help you
to enlist a friend or family member to work out with you and
encourage you. This way, you will both benefit. Before you
begin you may want to talk to your doctor, especially if you
already have any diabetes related complications.
