Despite the recent relaxing of lockdown rules, staying active remains tougher than ever, with gyms and swimming pools still closed.
However, if you have diabetes type 2 or prediabetes, regular exercise is crucial to improve your blood sugar control. Getting fit will also reduce your risk of suffering from further complications such as heart disease and stroke.
But you don’t have to become a marathon runner overnight – or indeed start any form of extreme workout. Instead, just increasing your activity levels by a moderate amount can make a huge difference.
Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise plan, especially if you have diabetes or any other underlying conditions.
