Diabetes Treatments: Aerobics and Weights
Diabetics should combine aerobic exercise with weight lifting to get the best results in reducing the level of blood sugar, according to a new study.
The combination also proved to be the best for weight loss compared with the practice of only one of those sports.
The blood sugar used to feed the muscles and burn more during aerobic activity. In contrast, weight lifting helps build more muscle, and both activities change in muscle protein in ways that improve the process.
“It is clear that aerobic exercise and strength is better than either alone,” said lead study author Dr. Tim Church, the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. “It’s almost like taking two different medicines.”
Patients in the study, to be published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the results achieved in just over nine months, exercising three times weekly for about 45 minutes.
“People can handle this amount of exercise,” said Laurie Goodyear of Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, who was not involved in the new study but performed similar research. “They did not have to diet. This was only the effect of exercise.”
The researchers’ goal was to test three exercise programs that doctors could recommend a realistic and that patients could follow.

If you have diabetes, make sure your oral health care. People with diabetes are at risk for mouth infections, including gum disease (periodontal disease). This disease damages the gums and jaw bones (whose function is to hold the teeth in place) and can lead to painful chewing. Those people with serious gum disease lose their teeth. The gum disease may also hinder the control of sugar (glucose) levels.
Other problems caused by diabetes is a condition known as dry mouth or dry mouth, and an infection called thrush. Dry mouth occurs when there is not enough saliva (the fluid that keeps the mouth moist.) Furthermore, diabetes can increase the level of glucose in the saliva. The combination of these problems may lead to thrush, a small white ulcers that appear in the mouth that are painful.
Remember, adequate control of blood glucose will help prevent mouth problems.
