Diabetes
Why should I stay active?
Being active will:
- help you lose weight or maintain a healthy weight
- increase the amount of glucose used by the muscles for energy, so it may sometimes lower blood glucose (sugar) levels
- help the body to use insulin more efficiently – regular activity can help reduce the amount of insulin you have to take
- improve your diabetes management (particularly type 2 diabetes)
- strengthen your bones
- reduce stress levels and symptoms of depression and anxiety
- improve your sleep
