Hi !

What would be the best advise regarding physical activity for a person with diabetes?

a. regular physical activity is beneficial for controlling weight and tissue sensitivity to insulin in type 2 diabetes

Exercise Makes It Easier to Control Your Diabetes. When you have type 2 diabetes, physical activity is an important component.

Exercise can reduce the glucose in your blood.

Muscles can use glucose without insulin when you're exercising.

(type 1 diabetes:

- Exercise makes it easier to control your blood glucose (blood sugar) level. - Exercise benefits people with type 1 because it increases your insulin sensitivity.

- After exercise, your body doesn't need as much insulin to process carbohydrates.)
