Even patients with moderate or severe diabetes can improve their condition as long as they exercise properly. Obese people can lose weight through exercise and diet control and gradually approach the standard weight, so exercise is an important aspect of diabetes treatment; For emaciated patients, proper exercise combined with effective drug treatment is beneficial to the improvement of patients' physique and their resistance to diseases. In addition, exercise can also improve the fat metabolism and cardiopulmonary function of diabetic patients, so that patients can enhance their confidence in fighting the disease.
Diabetic patients should choose non-strenuous or antagonistic sports such as walking, jogging, doing radio exercises, playing Tai Ji Chuan, cycling, swimming and dancing according to their illness, age and hobbies.
Monitoring and intensity of movement
Before exercise, patients should go to the hospital for necessary examinations, such as blood sugar monitoring, urine routine, blood pressure, electrocardiogram, liver and kidney function and blood lipid. And make exercise intensity according to the test results. Usually, heart rate can reflect the intensity of human exercise, and the simplest way to calculate the appropriate heart rate during exercise is to subtract age from 170.
As long as the heart rate during exercise is lower than the appropriate heart rate, it is aerobic exercise. Generally speaking, the pulse rate and heart rate are the same. Patients should learn to measure their pulse to judge their heart rate. The pulse immediately after exercise can be used as an indicator of whether the intensity of exercise is appropriate. If the pulse exceeds the index, it means that the exercise intensity is too high and the heart load is heavy, which is harmful to the human body; If the pulse can't reach the target, it means that the intensity of exercise is too small to achieve the expected effect.
Generally speaking, patients must exercise regularly for several days every day or week, from 10 minutes to 30 minutes, and take a rest according to the human body's tolerance. The most important thing is to judge according to the feelings during and after exercise. Generally speaking, when you exercise to a slight sweat, your muscles are sore and there is no obvious fatigue. After rest, you can regain your strength, have a good appetite and sleep. The next day, you are full of energy, and your pulse rate is stable and gradually decreasing. You have a desire to exercise, which means that the intensity of exercise is more appropriate. If sweating, chest tightness, wheezing, loss of appetite, obvious fatigue, pulse rate still can't recover after resting 15 minutes, or poor sleep, the whole body is tired and sore the next day, indicating that this kind of exercise is excessive and should be adjusted in time.
