Exercise therapy Exercise therapy is one of the basic treatments for diabetes. If there are no particularly serious complications or special circumstances are not suitable for exercise, most diabetic patients can lower their blood sugar through exercise.
Three more and one less are typical symptoms of diabetes, and "one less" refers to weight loss. When blood sugar is not well controlled, the weight of diabetic patients may continue to drop. Of course, it does not rule out that diet control is too strict, malnutrition leads to weight loss, or taking hypoglycemic drugs such as metformin leads to weight loss.
How to exercise is one of the cornerstones of diabetes treatment, and diabetes education, diet, drugs and monitoring the course of disease are the five carriages of diabetes treatment. Many people think that exercise treatment of diabetes is mainly achieved by controlling weight and losing weight. Is it not necessary for people with thin diabetes to exercise?
For diabetics, exercise is both health care and treatment. Regular exercise for pre-diabetic patients can improve glucose tolerance and delay the occurrence of diabetes. Regular exercise can increase the sensitivity of tissue cells to insulin and reduce the risk of hyperinsulinemia, which is beneficial to blood sugar control; Exercise can improve heart and lung function, reduce blood lipid and blood pressure, and prevent osteoporosis.
Of course not, exercise does have the function of controlling weight, but at the same time, the reduction of blood sugar is not limited to losing weight, because exercise mainly consumes fat, no matter how fat or thin it is, it will not make thin people thinner, but only make our muscles stronger. At the same time, exercise can also promote the consumption of blood sugar by tissue cells, and also enhance the secretion of insulin by islet cells to reduce our blood sugar level.
For diabetics, exercise is one of the interventions. For obese people, exercise can play a role in losing weight. When the two are linked, diabetics will feel thinner if they exercise again. In fact, this is a common misunderstanding. In fact, there is no conflict between exercise and lowering blood sugar and losing weight.
I hope everyone can correctly understand that diabetic patients should exercise scientifically and regularly, mainly aerobic exercise, step by step, regardless of fat or thin. At the same time, we should also pay attention to reasonable diet and control the total daily calories; It is necessary to use drugs reasonably under the guidance of a doctor, and insulin replacement therapy can be used if necessary; While standardizing the treatment, we should also pay attention to monitoring the changes of blood sugar level and review it regularly.
