b) Physical Activity:

Regular activity is a key part of managing diabetes along with
proper meal planning, taking medications as prescribed, and stress

management. It has been shown to:

 Improve blood glucose control.

 Reduce cardiovascular risk factor.
 Contribute to weight loss and to improve well-being.
 Regular exercise may prevent type 2 diabetes in high risk
individuals.

People with diabetes should be advised to perform at least 150
min/week of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity (50-70% of
maximum heart rate) spread over at least 3 days/week with no more
than two consecutive days without exercise.
