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.

“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.
