Explain the relationship between physical activity and diabetes.

What will be an ideal response?


Responses will vary; there are two types of diabetes; insulin-dependent and non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. While exercise improves the diabetic condition for both types, exercise is most beneficial among those with type 2 diabetes or non-insulin diabetes mellitus. To be effective however, exercise has to be done on a regular basis. All diabetics should speak with their health care provider before beginning or revising an activity program because intensity, injury, and blood sugar levels need to be discussed. If you are diabetic, you should never exercise alone and you should wear a bracelet that identifies your condition.
