Can diabetics exercise? How to exercise for diabetic patients? I’m sure everyone is full of doubts about this question. In fact, diabetics are not only able to exercise, but also very suitable for moderate exercise, exercise also helps diabetics to recover. So what kind of exercise should diabetics do, and what matters needing attention in the process of exercise? 1, diabetic patients how to exercise? (1) diabetic patients should be in the development of exercise plans before the medical examination. Exercise plans should be made under the guidance of medical personnel, and should be appropriate in intensity, within limits, and pay attention to safety. (2) Carry candy or chocolate with you to prevent hypoglycemia. (3) Try to exercise in a group, and carry a patient card with your condition, request for first aid and contact person for emergency use. (4) Sports shoes should be light and soft, and the soles should not be too thin. 2.What should diabetic patients pay attention to when exercising? (1) Be alert to the occurrence of hypoglycemia During exercise, the muscles consume glucose in the body, and at the same time, the sensitivity of insulin is enhanced, resulting in a double effect, leading to a decrease in blood sugar after exercise. Exercise time and the amount of exercise should be relatively fixed, should not exercise on an empty stomach, 1 to 2 hours after the meal exercise is better. Those who have blood glucose meter should measure blood glucose once before and after exercise, and pay attention to blood glucose stability. If you inject insulin or take oral hypoglycemic drugs, hypoglycemia may occur during or after exercise, and hypoglycemia can occur within 2 to 12 hours after exercise, or even within 24 hours. The greater the intensity of the exercise, the longer it lasts, the greater the range of time to be alert to the occurrence of hypoglycemia. (2) Be cautious of fast running with diabetes Fast running can enhance the cardiorespiratory function and make the fat stored in the body (especially abdominal fat and visceral fat) to be released to a greater extent and consumed through muscle exercise. However, the heart rate of diabetic patients can increase when running fast, and the sympathetic nervous system is excited, which will stimulate the endocrine organs, releasing adrenaline and norepinephrine, and stimulating the decomposition of liver glycogen, causing a sudden rise in blood sugar. When blood glucose rises and fluctuates, diabetic patients are more likely to suffer from heart, brain, kidney and other organs and complications. After reading the above article, I think we all have almost understood whether diabetic patients can exercise and how to exercise. Before patients start exercising, they should consult their doctors to understand and evaluate their physical condition, clarify the type of diabetes, blood glucose level, the type of drugs used and the risk of exercise, the presence of complications and the functional status of important organs, and then choose a suitable exercise method for themselves. Patients with diabetes should use small to medium intensity, longer aerobic exercise, supplemented by small intensity strength training, and a combination of both for the best results. Exercise for the treatment of diabetes must be persistent, long-term persistence to achieve the desired results. Diabetic patients can carry out appropriate exercise activities, but must pay attention to the amount of exercise, appropriate until, we can completely refer to the above methods and attention to the main points to do.
