• Walking and Diabetes

    How much walking do I need to do to show positive health outcomes for pre-diabetes
    and type 2 diabetes?

    Any form of physical activity helps: walking, stairs climbing (very good), weight lifting
    (buy dumbbells for home and for office), squatting, solo dancingÿ (did you know that
    the ancient philosopher Socrates practiced solo dancing to keep himself fit - with 70?).

    The general rule is at least 30 minutes of physical activity per day - each day.

    Most effective is physical activity 45 minutes after a meal - it increases insulin
    sensitivity, the biggest problem if you have prediabetes or diabetes.

    45 minutes after a meal your glucose level rises, so a little workout helps to burn
    glucose.

    5 minutes are better than nothing and 10 minutes are better than 5 minutes. After
    breakfast, physical activity is most required.

    If you are a late breakfast eater, physical activity in the morning is helpful to reduce the
    glucose level which is usually high in the morning.
