Physical activity can be
effective in helping you deal with type 2 diabetes. Studies show that
exercise promotes the uptake of glucose more rapidly - in fact, it may
have the same beneficial effects as insulin!
Get as active as possible. It will help your health and manage
day-to-day physical challenges as well as alleviate some of the
symptoms of your health condition.
A mix of moderate activity such as walking, swimming, moderate aerobic
and cycling combined with easy resistance training is ideal.
Keep in mind that intense activity can sometimes worsen your symptoms.
Wearing a pedometer is good way to keep track of your exercise routine.
