Eight weeks of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise training significantly reduces fasting plasma glucose in diabetic patients compared to conventional care alone.
If you have diabetes, adding moderate walking to your routine three times a week for 30-45 minutes can significantly lower your fasting blood sugar. Start with a 10-minute warm-up, walk at a pace that keeps your heart rate at 50-60% of its maximum, and finish with a 10-minute cool-down. This should be done in addition to your regular medical care.
Patients in IG, in addition to conventional care, experienced non-significant decline in LDL-C, TC, T, increase in HDL-C and significant reduction in FPG, BW, and BMI over those receiving conventional care only.
Why this rating
Small sample size (n=12) and short duration (8 weeks) limit generalizability, though the study design is randomized.
