Diabetes has a “five-horse cart”, any one of which is very important, namely, diabetes education, dietary control, exercise therapy, drug therapy, and self-monitoring of blood glucose. Exercise therapy plays a crucial role in diabetes treatment. Appropriate exercise helps to improve insulin resistance and increase the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin, which is conducive to lowering glucose. It is generally better to choose to start exercise after 30 minutes after meal, which is not easy to affect the digestive function, and you can choose slow walking, walking, badminton and other sports. Diabetic patients should choose the appropriate exercise mode, exercise time and intensity according to their own blood sugar level, age, severity of complications and other factors. Patients with high blood sugar or diabetes are advised to exercise reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
