Muscles are an important part of blood sugar control as they play a key part in taking up excess glucose from the blood.
People with all types of diabetes mellitus can prompt their muscles to take in sugar from the blood and that can be done through exercise.
Just a word of caution, exercise, particularly shorter bursts of exercise, can sometimes prompt the liver to release glucose into the blood.
If you get higher sugar levels following exercise, this can be alleviated by following exercise up with a 10 to 20 minute period of walking. |
