More Good News About Exercise and Diabetes
Should you exercise if you have diabetes? The answer is a resounding,
"Yes!"
A recent study found that people with type 2 diabetes who walked three
miles a day -- or performed an equivalent amount of physical activity -- lost
weight and lowered their heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol and
triglyceride levels, and HbA1c. The hemoglocin A1c test measures blood glucose
levels over the previous two or three months.
And now there's more proof that regular exercise really does work for
people with diabetes: A recent meta analysis (analysis combining the results of
multiple studies) showed that individuals with type 2 diabetes who increased
their physical activity levels experienced improved blood glucose levels. The
data were reported in the journal Diabetologia (Volume 50, page 913).
Interestingly, individuals with diabetes who focused only on boosting
exercise achieved better results than those who tried to change their diet,
exercise, and medication adherence at the same time.
The evaluation of 103 studies, encompassing 10,455 participants with
diabetes, compared exercise-only interventions with lifestyle measures that
also targeted multiple health behaviors. This was the first meta analysis to
explore the effect of various methods of inspiring people to exercise, from
sessions with a personal trainer to watching others exercise as a motivation
method.
The researchers found that HbA1c levels dropped by 0.45% in those who
exercised more compared with inactive participants. The type of approach used
to get participants moving did not affect glucose readings. Blood glucose
improved twice as much among individuals who focused on exercise only, compared
with those who tried to improve other lifestyle factors as well.
Perhaps it may be more effective for people with type 2 diabetes to try
to change one behavior at a time and avoid becoming overwhelmed by making
multiple modifications all at once.
