💪 How Exercise Helps People with Type 2 Diabetes

1. Improves Insulin Sensitivity
When you exercise, your muscles use glucose (sugar) for energy. This helps lower blood sugar levels during and after activity. Over time, regular exercise makes your body’s cells more sensitive to insulin — meaning insulin can work more effectively, and your body needs less of it to keep blood sugar stable.

⸻

2. Lowers Blood Glucose Levels
Both aerobic exercise (like walking, cycling, swimming) and resistance training (like weights or bodyweight exercises) can directly lower blood glucose levels. Even a single session can have benefits lasting up to 24–48 hours!

⸻

3. Helps with Weight Management
Carrying extra weight, especially around the abdomen, can make it harder for insulin to do its job. Exercise helps with fat loss, preserves muscle mass, and supports a healthier metabolism — all of which make blood sugar easier to control.

⸻

4. Reduces Risk of Complications
Regular movement improves circulation, heart health, and blood pressure, reducing the risk of complications such as heart disease, nerve damage, and kidney problems — all of which are more common in diabetes.

⸻

5. Boosts Mood & Energy
Exercise releases endorphins, reduces stress hormones, and improves sleep quality — all important for managing diabetes long-term.

⸻

🏃‍♀️ Best Types of Exercise for Type 2 Diabetes
• Aerobic exercise: brisk walking, cycling, swimming, dancing
• Resistance training: weights, bands, or bodyweight workouts
• Flexibility and balance: yoga, Pilates, or stretching routines
• Everyday movement: taking the stairs, gardening, or walking meetings

⸻

⚠️ Safety Tips
• Always check blood sugar before and after exercise if advised by your health professional.
• Stay hydrated and carry a quick source of glucose if you’re on medication that can cause hypoglycemia.
• Build up gradually — even 10–15 minutes after meals can make a big difference.
