Exercise, Weight, and Diabetes Control


Your weight is much easier to control when you’re active. For a person with diabetes, the many benefits of losing weight may include:

  • Improved blood sugar

  • Improved use of insulin

  • Reduced need for diabetes medications

  • Lower blood pressure

  • Reduced risk of heart disease and other long-term problems

  • Improved appearance, energy level, and self-esteem

Losing weight slowly — 1/2 to 2 lbs per week — is the healthiest and best way to lose pounds and keep them off.
