In addition to regulate the diet, people with diabetes also should be diligent in exercising. Because, exercise helps the body to absorb the maximum sugar that circulating in the body. But, do not exercise also trigger excretion of sweat that quickly made thirsty? Especially when fasting, can people with diabetes exercise?

“Do not always identify the sports with sweat excessively, especially for people with diabetes,” said Dr. Michael Triangto, SpOK, sports medicine specialist from Slim + Health Sports Therapy.

Thus, exercise that is suitable is not aerobic and aerobic gymnastics. Because aerobic exercise has a movement repeatedly with a short time, it was harder. As a result, people with diabetes will be easier breathing hard and accelerating decline in blood.

Then, what kind of exercise is aerobics? Michael mentions, brisk walking or biking can be relaxing choice. But, before doing the sport, Michael reminded to see if there are other diseases that accompany diabetes. For, could have done a good exercise for diabetes, but not for other disease complications experienced.

That’s why before exercising what should be defined purpose and for goals to be achieved is to stay healthy during fasting and after fasting, it must be done according to the health value. Parameters for this, he said, is the measurement of heart rate with the formula 220 minus age in years. The results of the formula is 100% of heart rate and for people with diabetes, the limit is 50-70% of maximum heart rate.

For example, people with diabetes aged 30 years, so maximum is 190 beats per minute. Thus, heart rate limits when walking or cycling is a leisurely 80-133 per minute. That means, he explains, is less than 80 then do the exercises less than helpful, but if more than 133 are dangerous.

When talking about the benefits, exercise is done regularly and for long periods can help the muscles to absorb sugar, or glucose that circulate in the body. Therefore, people with diabetes is difficult to absorb sugar, it takes a higher insulin to glucose can be absorbed stacked.

“And with the muscles that are aerobic, body sensitivity of glucose into greater”. As a result, Blood Glucose levels can be more stable and for people with early diabetes, regular exercise can break away from drug addiction.
