What are the proper exercises for diabetics?
That's a very good question, and although your question is only a dozen words long, it's a complicated one to answer.
The most correct workout for a diabetic patient must be the one that best suits that patient personally. So it's going to vary from person to person. Each person is different and needs a different form and intensity of exercise.
Overall, if there are no serious complications, we strongly encourage diabetics toKeep up with 3 forms of exercise each week. Aerobic, resistance and balanced flexibility exercises。
- aerobicsIt's what we call brisk walking, jogging, commuting by bicycle, swimming and so on. Through aerobic exercise, you can increase your cardiorespiratory fitness, gradually regain fitness and maintain a certain amount of muscle mass.Aerobic exercise is recommended every day。
- resistance movementIt's against a certain resistance, either your own gravity (like sit-ups) or with the help of resistance like dumbbells, elastic bands, and fitness equipment. Thus exercising a certain part of the muscle. This is because we usually do aerobic exercise, it is more to exercise the muscles of the lower limbs, and our upper limbs, chest, back, waist and abdominal muscles have not been exercised. The lower limbs in addition to walking outside the very small range of muscle exercise, the inner and outer thighs also did not get exercise, so to do a certain amount of resistance exercise to exercise the remaining parts of these parts. RecommendationsAt least 2 times a week。
- Exercises for balance and coordinationIt is because if we usually lack such exercise, the strength of certain muscles is not enough leading to walking deformity, curvature of the spine and so on, and it is also easy to fall and cause fractures. The intensity of balance and coordination exercise is not very strong.Recommended for daily relaxation stretching。
Another key point of the most correct exercise is that it should be gradual and according to your strengths, if we suddenly get excited and feel that we must reduce our medication and lower our blood sugar by exercising, and suddenly increase to exercising for an hour or two a day, there is a risk of causing an exercise injury that will allow you to take a month or two off from exercising, and then take a break from exercising from that point on.
As for diabetic patients who already have some complications or problems with high blood pressure or unstable blood sugar, specific exercises will have to be carried out under the guidance of a health manager, exercise rehabilitator or diabetes educator.
To summarize.: The proper way to exercise for diabetic patients is to master these principles, firstly, all three forms of exercise should be available, and secondly, start with the intensity and length of exercise that you are comfortable with, and don't force yourself, thus leading to exercise injuries.

Exercise will not only benefit your blood sugar, it will also benefit your blood pressure, lipids, weight, and help improve your mood. We can also explore more about the specific exercise methods that are right for you.
The main reason for exercising with diabetes is to prevent injuries, as it is more dangerous for diabetics if an injury becomes infected and the wound does not heal easily.
Exercise can be a combination of light, moderate, heavy, and which type of exercise is appropriate for you based on your individual fitness level, physical condition, type of complication, how many, and the amount of exercise you do on a regular basis.
If there is no complication, weekday physical condition is good, and more like to exercise. You can choose running 🏃, boarding, jumping rope and some other sports that are more exercise and consume more energy.
If you have complications and are in poor physical condition and are out of breath when you move, start light. Take slow walks, rest when you get tired, and don't rush.
Such as eight duanjin, taijiquan, swimming 🏊🏻, walking and other sports suitable for a wide range, can try, but tired to rest, can not have to do the whole set or must how many steps.
In short, live within your means.
It is generally recommended that diabetic patients should focus on aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, tai chi, badminton, golf, etc. Resistance exercise can be carried out twice a week, and the weekly exercise time should be guaranteed to be around 150 minutes, and the exercise should be stopped and replenished with energy immediately if there are any symptoms of panic, sweating and hunger. The occurrence of diabetes mellitus is related to genetic and environmental factors, and is caused by relative or absolute insufficiency of insulin secretion. If the family has a genetic background of diabetes mellitus, and I am obese, hyperglycemic, hyperlipidemic, hypertensive, or gestational diabetes mellitus, I am more likely to suffer from diabetes mellitus.
The purpose of exercise for diabetics is to help the body find its blood sugar balance. Therefore, it is important to "consume small amounts, several times a day, muscle excitement". Exercise methods include gymnastics, simplified taijiquan, Ba Duan Jin, Yangge Dance, rope skipping, disco, simulated boxing, push-ups, sit-ups, and radio gymnastics.
