How should diabetics choose an exercise method that suits them? In general, the exercise method for diabetic patients is mainly aerobic exercise (also called endurance exercise), which is an exercise method that can enhance respiratory and cardiovascular functions, improve metabolism, and correct disorders of blood sugar and lipid metabolism. Common aerobic exercises are walking, running, cycling, climbing, climbing, rowing, swimming, etc. Older and less fit diabetic patients are advised to do exercises with less intensity, such as walking. If you can do it in a beautiful green environment, the natural atmosphere is more beneficial to physical and mental health. When walking, the whole body should be relaxed, eyes in front, natural and rhythmic swing of the upper limbs, each time 10-30 minutes. Diabetic patients with good physical condition and no cardiovascular disease can use exercises of medium to high intensity, such as fitness running. Diabetic patients can also combine their own interests and choose the right type of exercise for them. For example, if you live in a high-rise building, you can do stair climbing, rope skipping, and running in place. In addition, radio gymnastics, ball games, etc. can be used. Healthy people have no contraindications in terms of exercise time. Diabetic patients, on the other hand, need to pay attention to the intensity and duration of exercise, to prevent hypoglycemia from occurring during exercise. For diabetics, exercise as much as possible 1-2 hours after meals. At this time, the patient’s blood sugar level is more stable, the food in the stomach is also digested most, but also not easy to hurt the stomach. Especially after breakfast, is the best time to exercise, because this may be the highest blood sugar time of the day, when exercise often does not have to add meals. It should be noted that patients should not exercise at the time when insulin or oral hypoglycemic drugs are at their strongest, otherwise it may lead to hypoglycemia.
