Exercise to Lower Your A1c Levels |
Adding exercise to your diabetes treatment plan is a good way to improve
control of your blood sugar and your A1c levels. Your risk of heart disease and nerve damage
is also reduced as your overall fitness level improves.
Exercise as relaxed as a half hour of walking each day will increase blood
flow, improving circulation throughout the body. Your heart also benefits
from exercise and the increased heart rate.
Stretching exercises and meditation (yoga comes to mind, and body!) can also improve your ability to cope with stress, help you lose weight, and
improve your overall fitness level.
