Exercise Is The Most Inexpensive Treatment

Recently, the Beijing Games in diabetic patients in a fourth high school stadium, more than 600 diabetic patients participated in aerobics, kung fu fan, tai chi, tai chi sword, asked to run the ball, shuttlecock, dozens of projects competition. Its purpose is to call the majority of diabetic patients with active participation of appropriate scientific exercise to physical fitness, healthy living and create a new chapter.
The organizers hope that through this activity more colorful life of diabetes patients, so that the correct treatment to improve awareness of patients, not superstition and fallacies do not believe in false advertising, and find their own sport. Games, the reporter interviewed a Beijing Union Medical College Hospital endocrinologist Professor Wang Heng, she told us: appropriate physical activity beneficial to the treatment of diabetes, and that movement is the most cost diabetes treatment, every patient should be based on their own The campaign to choose the appropriate way. But to point out that safety is the first exercise, the diabetic patients should be chosen sport is the type of relief, and note that a gradual, time, and quantity.
The impact of exercise on diabetes treatment
Professor Wang said that adhere to the appropriate amount of physical activity can improve the human insulin receptor number of muscle cells. The process is the body motion the process of energy consumption, through exercise, reduce blood sugar, increase the effectiveness of insulin, and glucose metabolism in the number of indicators (such as glycosylated hemoglobin) is also improved.
Exercise can lose weight, lose weight after the number of cells increased sensitivity to insulin, so blood sugar dropped, the use of hypoglycemic drugs was significantly reduced. Exercise can improve blood flow in blood vessels, lowering blood lipids and blood viscosity, is conducive to the control of chronic complications of diabetes. Also increased during exercise in patients with cardiac and respiratory function, enhance bone strength and bone density, and can relax and increase stamina.
What kind of exercise for diabetic patients
Professor Wang said that patients with diabetes should be used in sports aerobics. Diabetes is the more appropriate means of low-intensity aerobic exercise, the pace was slow, but the heart beat faster after exercise, breathing normally gentle exercise such as walking, tai chi, self gymnastics.
Aerobic exercise can increase the heart, the brain's blood supply. Energetic after exercise can make people feel better about themselves. In addition, sufficient oxygen supply may also promote fat metabolism, is conducive to consume the remainder of the body fat accumulation. Therefore, aerobic exercise is very suitable for diabetic patients, especially the elderly poor heart function. Aerobic exercise should be gradual, starting from a walk, a gradual transition. Activities also belong to aerobic exercise include cycling, jogging, rope skipping, stair climbing, swimming, dancing, aerobics and so on.
Do housework can replace exercise
Professor Wang believes that housework relatively complicated, and easy to make a person feel tired, but exercise is not necessarily enough. In general, domestic work can not completely replace the physical activity, diabetes patients should arrange a separate time for exercise. But to draw attention to is this: poor control of the disease, the patient should avoid physical activities.
How should patients with diabetes campaign
Professor Wang said: Diabetic patients should be appropriate to participate in sports activities, and to exercise as a therapy. But to note the following:
1. Exercise the "degree" is different from healthy people with diabetes to participate in sports must be careful to take good sense of proportion. Patients several times daily or weekly exercise regularly, each time for 20 to 40 minutes is appropriate, in order to exercise therapy to "heat." Physiological studies have shown that: the first exercise in patients with diabetes from 5 to 10 minutes, reach the objective of lowering blood sugar; exercise time from 20 to 30 minutes, lowering blood sugar best; movement for more than 40 minutes, although the blood sugar can be reduced, but the blood fat concentration, will increase the diabetic condition. Movement does not appear to be heart palpitations, shortness of breath for the degree.
2. Exercise in patients with diabetes should pay attention to the rhythm of movement to adjust the rhythm of a good, simple to do before exercise warm-up exercises, and gradually increase the amount of exercise, the heart and lung function in a process of adaptation, the end of exercise, at least 5 minutes slow adjustment.
3. Some people worry that the timing of movement, exercise can induce the incorrect timing of low blood sugar, in fact, this should not become barriers to diabetes to participate in sports. But patients should pay attention to time in the exercise, such as not to insulin and oral hypoglycemic agents when the maximum effect of exercise. In order to do be prepared for the patient in the exercise, the body can be prepared a few pieces of candy or cookies, to prepare for emergency response.
4. Movement taboo must be pointed out: Type 1 diabetes patients control blood glucose are not well before, not physical exercise; type 2 diabetes exercise, while not taboo, but also for the safety of walking exercise in general; there retinopathy patients, exercise can not be too large, so as not to induce retinal hemorrhage; heart, liver, kidney, or acute pulmonary insufficiency in patients with severe complications such as infection, movement was undoubtedly the taboo list.
Because mostly the elderly diabetic patients, many complicated with hypertension, lipid disorders and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, at the beginning of exercise must be based on our capability, suitable for the principle had not and must not exercise too much. Ideal approach is to clear after diabetes, regular exercise at the beginning before the second round of the physical examination should be done in understanding the health status and access their own doctors under the guidance of campaigns.
