HEALTH & WELLBEING
WHY DOES EXCERCISE
REGULATE BLOOD SUGAR
The reason walking – and other
types of exercise – are so good for
regulating blood sugar is because
they make the body’s muscles
work. Movement causes muscles to
contract, which subsequently starts the
mechanisms that allow the sugar in the
blood to enter cells and fuel the body. This
reduces blood sugar levels as a result.
With many people continuing to spend
large portions of their days sitting while
working from home, it’s important for
people with type 2 diabetes to stand and
walk often. Of course, that is sometimes
easier said than done. But even small
changes in sitting patterns throughout the
day may be beneficial to a person’s blood
sugar control. For example, going to the
kitchen to get water or make tea can be a
great opportunity to walk around for a few
minutes. Even standing or walking while
taking calls or during meetings can be a
good idea.
It’s still important for people with type 2
diabetes to follow the advice of their
doctor and stick to any special diets or take
any medications they’ve been prescribed.
But adding extra movement into their day
will not only improve blood sugar control,
it may also improve other aspects of health
– including heart health and bone density.
