Diabetic patients can do some low-intensity muscle building exercises, such as swimming, lifting dumbbells and elastic band exercises.
1. Swimming: Reduced skeletal muscle mass is a common condition among diabetic patients, and the main place of utilizing glucose is the skeletal muscle, and the reduction of muscle will affect the utilization of glucose by the skeletal muscle to a certain extent. Swimming can fully exercise the muscles of the whole body, so diabetic patients in their daily lives can carry out swimming exercises, moderate muscle building can improve their own immunity, and can better utilize glucose.
2. Lifting dumbbells: moderate lifting dumbbell muscle building exercise can strengthen the muscles of both arms, which in turn promotes the utilization of glucose in the body.
3. Elastic band exercise: elastic band exercise can not only play the effect of exercise to increase muscle, but also improve the body’s immunity, preserving good exercise habits.
Patients should pay attention to the amount of exercise to avoid hypoglycemia caused by excessive exercise.
