10 Benefits of Physical Activity For Diabetic Clients

For those who have been diagnosed with diabetes, there is a huge opportunity to turn the disease around and return to full health. The development of diabetes is usually related to blood sugars increases caused by poor diet and lack of exercise (type 2) but may also be due to lack of insulin (type 1). The good news is that it is possible to control diabetes with the correct approach to exercise and diet.
Through consistent scheduled exercise, you will improve your blood glucose control which means your blood sugars levels will be less likely to fluctuate between hypo and hyperglycaemia.
 As you become fitter and your cardiovascular output improves, you will reduce the risk of heart disease happening to you. Start exercising today and decrease chances of developing heart disease which, as a diabetic, you are at greater risk of.
 Get a grip on those blood sugar levels. Exercise can help lower blood sugar levels, therefore prevent symptoms of diabetes occurring. No more of those dreaded blood sugar level dips which can leave you feeling nauseous and reaching for the sugary snacks.
 As you exercise, your body actually becomes more sensitive to insulin and therefore prevent symptoms of diabetes happening to you.
 Of course, you will burn calories, look and feel great and reduce the risk of obesity and weight gain. Obesity is 100% reversible through healthy diet and exercise so get moving today.
 When you exercise your blood pressure will begin to stabilise. Reduced blood pressure which lead to cardiac problems.
 Your blood circulation will improve. For diabetics, this is most important because improved blood circulation reduces risk of problems with legs and feet.
 Reduced blood sugar levels may reduce the risk of retina blood vessel damage in the eyes leading to blindness, which is a complication that diabetics frequently face.
 Your new exercise plan may also help control blood glucose levels reducing risk of damage to kidneys, another complication frequently related to diabetes.
 And finally, exercise can help stress management. Nearly every illness is exacerbated by stress and certainly diabetes is no exception. So your body and mind will thank you for any activity which can reduce the stress levels from climbing out of control.
 Be sure to seek written medical clearance from a doctor before initiating any exercise programme. Start slow and do not overload the body all at once with intense exercise. Avoid further injury or damage and stop all activity if pain is experienced.
Be creative and think of activities that you enjoy and can do from home if necessary on days that you cant make it to the gym. Consider video games (WII Fitness) which can similate tennis, cricket and can be played from the chair or trying an exercise bike and weights at home. Enjoy your new exercise and keep it fun by changing and challenging the body and mind.
