Exercise helps improve the body's response to insulin and can allow patients to take less insulin and fewer medications overall. Doctors recommend doing at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity a week. Aerobics, swimming, brisk walking, yoga, and cycling can all count towards this goal. Home activities like raking leaves and vacuuming count as well. Patients may wish to invest in a fitness tracker or join an activity club or gym to motivate themselves to exercise more. Patients should always have a physical exam from their doctor before they begin any exercise regimen. The doctor can assess the patient's heart, lungs, and range of motion to recommend exercises that are safe and effective for the patient's needs. Diabetes patients should always be particularly careful after exercise, allow themselves a few minutes to rest before continuing with their next task, and bring along a small snack to eat immediately following their workouts.
