Exercise and daily physical activities are the most powerful antidotes for insulin resistance. Regular exercise paired with a healthy diabetic diet can improve insulin sensitivity rapidly and also help to lower blood sugar and blood pressure at the same time. It is fine to begin slowly and then pick up the pace as your fitness level rises.
Opt for Quick Workouts – As long as you devote a total of 30 minutes to workouts each day you can opt for several brief workout sessions throughout the day.
Increase Overall Activity – Increasing physical activity, in general, such as walking or climbing stairs along with daily household work can also aid in weight management and control blood glucose levels.
Use a Pedometer – A pedometer is a useful fitness device that helps to keep a track of the steps you tread every day. It acts as a source of inspiration for physical activity.
Workout with a Friend – Working out with a friend or partner can be an effective motivator, particularly for elderly people.
Set Realistic and Attainable Goals – Setting unrealistic goals and failing to reach them only discourages and demotivates you. So, make it a point to set small and attainable targets like walking 30 minutes 5 times a week. It may not sound like a lot, but it can help a lot in keeping you committed and consistent.
Maintain a Record of your Physical Activity – Most people underestimate the benefit of recording the physical activity, but in reality it can provide an honest overview of where you had started and how much progress you have made.
Controlling blood glucose levels through modification of diet and lifestyle is the mainstay of diabetes therapy that aids in diabetes control and prevention.
