Can you guess what that treatment is?<\/h4>\n

EXERCISE!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Regular physical activity is one of the most important things you can do to manage and live well with your diabetes since it improves your body\u2019s sensitivity to insulin and helps manage your blood glucose (sugar) levels. In fact, active muscles use up glucose as a source of energy, preventing glucose from building up in your blood.<\/h4>\n

What is physical activity?<\/strong>
\nPhysical activity is any form of movement that causes your body to burn calories. For example: walking, gardening, cleaning and many other activities you may already do.<\/h4>\n

Both aerobic and resistance exercise are important for people living with diabetes. Aerobic exercise consists of continuous exercise such as walking, bicycling or jogging that elevates breathing and heart rate. Whereas resistance exercise involves brief repetitive exercises with weights, weight machines, resistance bands or one\u2019s own body weight to build muscle strength. If you decide to begin resistance exercise, you should first get some instruction from a qualified exercise specialist or exercise resource and start slowly. Ask your diabetes educator for more information!<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

How much is enough?<\/strong>
\nYour goal should be to complete at least 150 minutes of moderate- to vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise each week (e.g. 30 minutes, five days a week). Start slowly and safely, with as little as five to 10 minutes of exercise per day, gradually building up to your goal.
\nIf you are able and when you are ready, try adding resistance exercises like lifting weights three times a week.<\/h4>\n

Remember: Safety 1st!<\/strong>
\nIf you have been inactive for some time, talk to your doctor before starting any exercise program that is more strenuous than brisk walking.<\/h4>\n

Other points:
\n\u2022 Make sure you wear comfortable, proper-fitting shoes.
\n\u2022 Wear your MedicAlert\u00ae bracelet or necklace.
\n\u2022 Listen to your body. Speak to your doctor if you are very short of breath or have chest pain.<\/h4>\n

People using insulin or medications that could lower blood sugars should monitor their levels before, during and many hours after exercise to evaluate exercise affected your blood glucose control. Carry some form of fast-acting carbohydrate with you in case you need to treat low blood glucose (hypoglycemia), for example, glucose tablets or a juice.<\/h4>\n

Most importantly, have fun!<\/h4>\n
