People with diabetes are losing weight. Can you do exercise and fitness in this situation?
You can do exercise when you lose weight. Doing exercise can improve patients' affinity for insulin, thus reducing insulin resistance and increasing insulin sensitivity, which is beneficial to blood sugar control. Insulin resistance is reduced, sensitivity is enhanced and blood sugar is stable. If the sugar intake is too high to be exhausted, it will be temporarily converted into glycogen storage under the action of insulin, and then decomposed into glucose for energy supply when we are short of energy (or it will eventually be converted into fat accumulation without opportunity). If diabetes can be well controlled, blood sugar can be well controlled, and the overall physical condition is also good, at this time, you can exercise normally and eat normally, without losing weight, and in some cases, you may even gain weight.

Diabetics are getting thinner and thinner, which has nothing to do with exercise. Thinness is caused by their illness and long-term high glycemic index, so we don't need to associate exercise with diabetes getting thinner, which is related to the hypoglycemic drugs used. At present, some mainstream hypoglycemic drugs have a certain weight loss effect. In addition to metformin, SGLT2 inhibitor is a new hypoglycemic drug with cardiovascular protection.

Exercise is actually a double-edged sword, which can not only make fat people consume energy to lose weight, but also make thin people gain weight. The most important thing is to enhance physical fitness and immunity. This is like saying that you are thin, and you will get thinner and thinner when you exercise. Diet, exercise and drugs are the "troika" for treating diabetes. Among them, diet and exercise are the basis and guarantee of all treatments. A lot of studies have confirmed that exercise can reduce insulin resistance. If there is a situation of continuous weight loss, the most important thing at present is to lower blood sugar and keep it within the normal range, so that the situation of continuous weight loss will be alleviated.

Exercise should be reasonable and not excessive. Excessive exercise may cause hypoglycemia in sugar friends. Sugar friends' blood sugar fluctuates greatly, and they are more prone to hypoglycemia than ordinary people, so proper exercise and aerobic exercise are enough.
