Wieght plays a major part regarding the onset of type 2 diabetes. Most people when first diagnosed with the disease are obese.

This strongly suggests that those of us who are diabetic and overweight have an aversion to exercise.

Perhaps the good news is that exercising does not mean that you have to become a slave to the gym! The fact is, one of the reasons we don’t go to the gym is because we don’t want to show our perhaps flabby bodies in public!

So forget about the gym for the moment – as you progress you may get the bug for exercise and want to join up, but simply going for a walk has been proved to make a big difference to our health. Walking an extra 2 miles a day only takes about three quarters of an hour.

In fact the distance you walk is not really important – it’s the time. If you walk in one direction for about ten minutes, then ten minutes back, that’s a total of twenty minutes, which is proved to have a positive health effect, on diabetics in particular.

Just being outside and doing some gardening for twenty minutes is as good.

Bear in mind when considering how to exercise, aerobic exercise is what you want to be doing as a type 2 diabetic. Aerobic exercise is exercise with low impact and can be sustained without straining for longer periods than anaerobic, which are concentrated short bursts of energy.

The reason for doing this is this.

When you exercise you burn energy. What happens is the liver, which stores extra glucose, releases it’s store of glucose as you exercise. As you continue to exercise this glucose is used up and the body then turns to fat to convert to energy, and starts to use that, which in turn makes us lose wieght! Hence the need for aerobic exercise which you can keep up!

As well as helping with weight loss, exercise reduces bad cholesterol, stress, blood pressure and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
