"Any body impairment or disease can be extremely frustrating and limiting, but there are certain conditions that you have some power to improve yourself. Type 2 diabetes is one of the conditions, and two of the easiest ways to improve your diabetes yourself are getting enough exercise and eating healthy. Studies have found that regular exercise and dieting increase blood flow, regulate blood sugar levels, and reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes."
"Regular physical activity has plenty of benefits for people with diabetes, and the amount of exercise is not that much, just 150 minutes a week, which works out to be less than 30 minutes a day. According to a recent study, walking briskly or cycling for the recommended 150 minutes a week can reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 26%."
Regular exercise and healthy eating can substantially reduce risk and improve management of type 2 diabetes. Moderate activity totaling about 150 minutes per week (under 30 minutes daily) lowers disease risk by up to 26%, while an hour of moderate-to-vigorous exercise daily can reduce risk by about 40%. Any amount of physical activity confers benefit. Exercise improves blood sugar levels, increases circulation, and enhances glucose clearance because skeletal muscles are the primary site for glucose uptake. The liver stores some glucose, but muscles store the greatest amount. Dieting also increases blood flow and helps regulate blood sugar.
