Blood sugar levels increase due to the body&#8217;s difficulty in transporting sugar into the cells and out of the bloodstream. There are various ways to lower blood sugar levels including exercise, diet, and medications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Exercise<\/strong> is a very important part of diabetic management for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics. For the Type 1 diabetic, regular exercise helps to maintain insulin sensitivity, helps prevent accumulation of excess weight, and increases the use of glucose by muscles, thereby lower blood sugar levels. While there is currently no way to prevent Type 1 diabetes, it may be possible to prevent Type 2 diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-340 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marieparkeronline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/bruce-mars-554379-unsplash.jpg?resize=235%2C235&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marieparkeronline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/bruce-mars-554379-unsplash.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marieparkeronline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/bruce-mars-554379-unsplash.jpg?resize=540%2C540&amp;ssl=1 540w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marieparkeronline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/bruce-mars-554379-unsplash.jpg?zoom=2&amp;resize=235%2C235&amp;ssl=1 470w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marieparkeronline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/bruce-mars-554379-unsplash.jpg?zoom=3&amp;resize=235%2C235&amp;ssl=1 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px\" \/>Things to consider when attempting to prevent the onset of Type 2 diabetes are regular <strong>exercise,<\/strong> supplementation with vitamins and herbs that help prevent insulin resistance, and proper weight control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Exercise not only helps directly in diabetic management by lowering blood sugar levels and maintaining insulin sensitivity but also helps minimize many of the complications that can arise in a diabetic individual.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Studies have shown that walking for 30 minutes per day can substantially diminish the possibility of developing Type 2 diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Diabetics tend to develop circulatory problems and exercise can certainly help lower blood pressure and improve circulation throughout the body. Since individuals with diabetes tend to have poor blood flow to their lower extremities and feet, better circulation is of great benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">There are some risks associated with exercise, but the potential benefits greatly outweigh the risks. Since exercise does lower blood sugar levels, people with diabetes should measure their blood sugar both before and after exercising.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Since your body uses more sugar while exercising and makes you more sensitive to insulin, there is a risk of blood sugar becoming too low and causing hypoglycemia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When exercising it is important to let others know that you are diabetic. They should be informed what to do in case of hypoglycemia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-342 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marieparkeronline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/charlotte-karlsen-585717-unsplash.jpg?resize=258%2C258&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"258\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marieparkeronline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/charlotte-karlsen-585717-unsplash.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marieparkeronline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/charlotte-karlsen-585717-unsplash.jpg?resize=540%2C540&amp;ssl=1 540w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marieparkeronline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/charlotte-karlsen-585717-unsplash.jpg?zoom=3&amp;resize=258%2C258&amp;ssl=1 774w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 258px) 100vw, 258px\" \/>You should always carry candy or fruit juice to treat low blood sugar levels should they occur.
