Swimming can improve blood circulation, improve digestion and absorption ability, enhance the functions of various organs and systems of human body, and play a comprehensive and systematic role in treating diabetic patients. People in cold water will consume a lot of stored glycogen and heat generated by fat burning, while when swimming, the muscles of the whole body are taking part in sports. So swimming is an effective exercise to reduce blood sugar and lose weight.

When playing table tennis, the metabolic rate of muscle tissue increases, the demand for sugar increases, and the expression of glucose transporter on glucose muscle cell membrane increases, which makes muscle, fat and other tissues more sensitive to insulin, thus improving insulin resistance, increasing the intake and utilization of glucose by muscle and fat tissue, promoting glucose to enter cells, and finally lowering blood sugar. Playing table tennis can enhance the function of nervous and endocrine system of diabetic patients, thus promoting the regulation of glucose metabolism by pancreas, keeping blood sugar at a low level, improving the function of islet to some extent, promoting insulin secretion, enhancing its action intensity and improving the utilization of glucose by surrounding tissues, thus having a good hypoglycemic effect.

Mountain climbing can improve physical fitness, enhance immunity, reduce or avoid complications, consume excess calories, lose weight, increase sensitivity to insulin, reduce the dosage of insulin and oral hypoglycemic agents, and also promote the utilization of sugar by body tissues, especially the ability of bones and muscles to absorb glucose, restore the absorption of sugar by cells, and reduce blood sugar and blood lipid levels.
