Slow and Steady Exercise Best for Blood Sugar Control
(U.S. News and World Report) UPDATED 2011-05-10
A review of 47 studies reveals that structured exercise programs that include aerobic exercise is key to lowering blood sugar levels. The analysis compared two groups of diabetics. One group was given a structured exercise program, while the other was counseled on the importance of getting exercise. Overall, those who were given the structured program lowered their blood sugar more than those who were simply given advice. Experts say the study also found that longer exercise was more beneficial than high-intensity exercise.
