Diabetes: Can Exercise Lower Blood Sugar Levels?

By Gloria Reibin


Physical workouts can, not only accelerate your health and fitness, it can also help normatize Type 2 Diabetes.

Research and personal testimony have disclosed a list of benefits. Just by including workouts every week, you can lose weight, lower cholesterol, build muscle, lower blood pressure and get more energy.

In addition, recently, I've seen testimonials from individuals practicing the newly discovered 7 Minute Workout techniques say that it has lowered their blood sugar levels. While 7 Minute Workout also uses diet, exercise has played an significant part.

A huge advantage of physical workouts in handling diabetes is that it supports the body's insulin use.

Normally, the pancreas releases insulin whenever a large amount of sugar in the bloodstream increases. This happens after a meal, for example. The insulin causes the liver and muscles to absorb the excess glucose, which ends in the lowering blood sugar levels.

When you workout, the body needs additional energy (glucose) for the exercising muscles. The glucose that is stored in the liver and muscles can be released for fuel.

But, enough from me, let's hear it from the horse's mouth.

Paul Douglas, a 7 minute student, explains the improvement he experiences in his blood sugar levels by doing exercises only 7 minutes a day, 3 times a week and following the systems suggestions on diet.

- "Last night after work my sugar was 6.4. Today three hours after lunch it was 6.5 (Normal is between 4-6 here in Canada). A far cry from the 15.6 reading I had ten days ago. Proof that smart diet and exercise will allow you to control diabetes instead of diabetes controlling you. (Sorry, I don't know how to convert it to US measurements.)"

Paul is a conscientious person, so his experience may not be yours.

However, combining exercise program, eating habits and other changes could be able to contain type 2 diabetes.
