Frequently asked questions

Does exercise lower blood sugar in diabetics? +
Yes. Aerobic exercise causes muscles to use glucose for energy, lowering blood sugar during and after exercise. The effect can last 24–48 hours. Even a 10-minute walk after a meal significantly reduces post-meal blood sugar spikes.
How much exercise should diabetics do? +
Most guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week (e.g. 30 minutes brisk walking, 5 days a week) plus resistance training 2–3 times a week. Always check blood sugar before and after exercise.
What BMI is considered healthy for a diabetic? +
For European populations, a healthy BMI is 18.5–24.9. For South Asian, East Asian and Middle Eastern/North African populations, overweight begins at BMI 23. Even losing 5–7% of body weight significantly improves blood sugar control and reduces complication risk.
