"Diabetes" is a very common metabolic disease in life, and now it has affected the health of most people. Judging from the number of cases last year, the number of patients with type 2 diabetes in mainland China has reached 125 million.
For this part of the group, in order to avoid more serious complications, including easily damaged kidneys, nervous system, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, retina, etc., sugar friends need to build confidence, and on the premise of relying on doctors for diagnosis and treatment, they must also do a good job of self-protection.
It is important to know that in the treatment of diabetes, the comprehensive treatment is adopted, that is, psychology, education, diet, medication, exercise and self-monitoring, which is known as the five troikas of diabetes treatment. Special mention should be made of exercise, which has been proven by numerous studies to show that diabetics should exercise appropriately.
Exercise can improve insulin resistance, stabilize blood sugar, and may also reduce hypoglycemic drugs for early diabetic patients.
When it comes to exercise, why do some people say that it is not recommended for diabetics to take more walks, otherwise it will aggravate the condition?
In fact, this statement is not accurate, such as in real life, there may be diabetics because of excessive exercise, or wrong diet after exercising, resulting in low blood sugar, fainting, and even life-threatening.
But the above mentioned is just an example, not everyone will experience "low blood sugar" when exercising. In addition, walking is a very good form of exercise, and for diabetics, proper walking can help stabilize the condition!
What are the benefits of proper walking for diabetics?
Human experiments have found that in a 12-week observation of multiple patients with type 2 diabetes, the subjects were divided into two groups, one group only took conventional drugs and did not exercise much, and the other group added 150 minutes of moderate-intensity walking per week on top of conventional drugs.
Eventually, the study found that people who took both medicine and walked not only improved their metabolic markers, but also lowered their blood sugar levels.
Not only that, but other studies have found that people who walk briskly every day, such as those who walk at an average speed of 3~5 kilometers per hour, can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 15%, while those who walk at an average speed of 5~6 kilometers per hour can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes to 24%.
It can be seen that the correct and effective way of walking is helpful for diabetic patients, as long as you do not pay attention to overdose, that is, when you feel tired all over the body, even if you do not rest well the next day, it is a manifestation of excessive exercise, and you should pay attention to adjusting the exercise time and exercise mode in time.
Moderate and gradual moderation is the main thing, with more than 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every day and 5 times a week.
