”Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by chronic hyperglycemia caused by multiple etiologies. Exercise therapy plays an important role in the management of diabetes, and today we will introduce exercise therapy for diabetes.” Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by chronic hyperglycemia caused by multiple etiologies and is caused by defects in insulin secretion and/or action. Long-term disorders of carbohydrate as well as fat and protein metabolism can cause multisystem damage, leading to chronic progressive lesions of the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, blood vessels and other tissues and organs. According to statistics, in 2000, there were 151 million people with diabetes worldwide, and in 2010, the number of people with diabetes reached 285 million. The prevalence of diabetes among adults in China has increased about 5 times in the past 20 years. Diabetic nephropathy is a unique complication of diabetes, and diabetic nephropathy will become an important disease leading to end-stage renal failure in China in the 21st century. The duration of diabetes, the type of diabetes, the age of the patient, the degree of glycemic control and other factors are all closely related to the occurrence of diabetic nephropathy. Exercise therapy plays an important role in the management of diabetes, especially in obese patients with type 2 diabetes, where exercise can increase insulin sensitivity, help control blood glucose and weight, improve drug efficacy, and other benefits. In many people’s consciousness, it seems that only running and playing football are considered exercise. In fact, it is not necessary to dedicate time to exercise, but many fragmented time in life can also be used for exercise purposes if they can be fully utilized. At work, we should try to move up, do not sit in a chair at work and do not get up, in fact, from time to time to get up more activities, do a simple stretching activities, drink more water and go to the toilet to walk around, more activities in itself is a good way to consume calories calcine; In addition, the road to and from work can walk, do not ride a bicycle, can ride a bicycle, do not sit in the car, but also can achieve very good exercise purposes, after dinner Walking, more stairs and less elevators, more housework with a certain amount of exercise, such as mopping, watering flowers, cleaning, etc. Diabetic patients should use aerobic exercise when exercising. Aerobic exercise is a general exercise with low intensity, slow pace, heartbeat not too fast after exercise, and calm breathing. Such as walking, taijiquan, self-made gymnastics, etc. Aerobic exercise can increase the oxygen supply of heart and brain blood and enhance the activity of the brain, which is very beneficial to ischemic heart disease. After exercise can make people energetic and feel good about themselves. In addition, sufficient oxygen supply can also promote fat metabolism, which is conducive to the consumption of the remaining fat accumulated in the body, helping to lose weight. Therefore, aerobic exercise is very suitable for diabetic patients, especially the elderly with poor heart function. Aerobic exercise should be done gradually and persistently for a long time, and blood sugar should be monitored before and after exercise. You can start with walking, and gradually transition to self-programmed exercises, etc. Activities that belong to aerobic exercise are: cycling, jogging, stair climbing, swimming, walking, square dancing, aerobics and so on. Patients are advised to adjust their food and medication when exercising heavily or intensely to avoid hypoglycemia. As for type 1 diabetes patients, in order to avoid excessive blood sugar fluctuations, physical exercise is recommended after meals. It should be noted that exercise is temporarily not suitable for patients with blood glucose >14-16mmol/l, significant hypoglycemia or large fluctuations in blood glucose, acute complications of diabetes and serious heart, brain and kidney complications. Exercise therapy is one of the “five horses” in diabetes treatment, and the role of blood glucose control by exercise should not be underestimated, but it still varies from person to person, and exercise must be performed under the guidance of a physician when necessary.
