Around 2 in 3 Australians living with diabetes may also have cardiovascular disease. A reminder of how closely metabolic and heart health are linked❗️
This is where structured movement becomes a key intervention, not just general advice. Regular exercise improves insulin sensitivity, supports blood pressure control, and helps reduce overall cardiovascular risk ⬇️
Priorities often include:
✅ Aerobic training to improve cardiac efficiency
✅ Resistance training to support glucose uptake and muscle health
✅ Consistency and gradual progression to build long-term adherence
Diabetes management isn’t just about blood glucose, it’s about reducing systemic risk and improving functional capacity over time 🔑
