The following points need to be noted in the movement of people with high blood sugar:
1. Select the appropriate mode of exercise: for example, walking, jogging, swimming, yoga, etc.
2. Control of motion intensity: Avoiding overwork, appropriate for medium intensity.
3. Exercise time: Exercise starts about 1 hour after meal and lasts more than 30 minutes each.
Progressive: gradual increase in the time and intensity of the movement.
5. Be safe: avoid moving in bad weather or in inappropriate physical conditions.
Carrying candy: preventing low blood sugar.
7. Regular monitoring of blood sugar: understanding of the effects of sport on blood sugar. In addition, it is advisable to consult a doctor prior to the campaign and to develop a suitable sports plan based on personal circumstances.
There are certain principles to be followed in the movement of people with high blood sugar.
The choice of the right time for exercise, preferably one or two hours after the meal, avoids being too low or too high during the exercise because the period after the meal is relatively stable.
Sports can be diversified. A more moderate sport such as a walk is appropriate, it is simple, fast and slow, can effectively raise the level of physical metabolism and help to reduce blood sugar; jogging is also a good option, which enhances the CPR function and promotes sugar consumption, but it is important to be gradual and avoid overwork; cycling is equally effective, including indoor and outdoor cycling, to exercise leg muscles and to increase body sensitivity to insulin.
Motion intensity needs to be moderate and generally medium strength is sufficient. It can be judged by heart rate, which is appropriate in the range of 170 – age per minute.
For example, it is more appropriate for a 50-year-old to maintain a heart rate of around 120 per minute.
Motion frequency is best 3 – 5 times a week for 30 – 60 minutes each, so as to continue to have a positive effect on blood sugar control. Watch for blood sugar before and after the exercise. If blood sugar is too high ( > 16.7mmol/L) or too low ( < 3.9mmol/L), the movement plan is adjusted to keep it within the right range and then move. At the same time, the exercise must be warmed up, like a motion joint, 5 – 10 minutes away; after the exercise, stretches to help relax muscles and reduce physical damage.
