Effects of training with Diabetes

Training can really help when your suffering from diabetes, both cardiovascular and strength training.

Diabetes - need to train.

What role does diabetes exercise training play in helping to control this disease? It is now being considered an essential component of controlling this disease. Just consider regular exercise can help to control blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol, and of course help with weight loss, which can be a major factor in diabetes.

What types of workout.

But what form of workout should a diabetes exercise training program utilise? Most often prescribed are different forms of cardio (aerobic) workouts, such as walking, bicycling, swimming, water aerobics or dancing. However, there is good evidence to suggest that weight training can aid in the management of diabetes.


How does it work?

In type 2 diabetes, the body loses sensitivity to the hormone insulin, which plays a vital role in regulating blood glucose. As a result, blood glucoses build up in the blood, and complications occur. However, muscle is a major clearance site for circulating blood glucose. So if through weight training you are able to increase lean body mass, greater amounts of blood glucose can be cleared from the blood.

Research has shown that high-intensity weight lifting for people with diabetes can reduce the dose of prescribed diabetes medications in as little as 16 weeks.

In summary.

In addition, weight training will help you to lose weight the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn at rest, adding up to greater weight loss.
