The Diabetes and Movement Connection

​​​​

  1. Reduction in Type 2 Diabetes Risk: According to the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), regular physical activity can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 58% in people at high risk, which is even more effective than the medication metformin in this context (31%)​
     

  2. Improvement in Blood Glucose Control: A study published by the American Diabetes Association found that regular aerobic exercise and resistance training reduced HbA1c levels by an average of 0.66% in people with type 2 diabetes, which can significantly lower the risk of complications.​
     

  3. Impact on Insulin Sensitivity: Research published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism indicates that just one session of moderate exercise can increase insulin sensitivity for up to 24 hours, helping cells use blood glucose more effectively.
     

  4. Weight Loss and Diabetes Management: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that a weight loss of 5-7% of body weight through diet and physical activity can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 58% in individuals with prediabetes.
     

  5. Cardiovascular Benefits: The American Heart Association notes that regular exercise can lower the risk of heart disease, which is two to four times higher in individuals with diabetes. Exercise helps lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, and enhance overall cardiovascular health.
     

  6. Reduction in Medication Needs: According to a study published in the Diabetes Care Journal, patients who incorporated regular exercise required lower doses of diabetes medications and had a reduced need for insulin therapy by approximately 30%.
     

  7. Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes in At-Risk Populations: A review by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) highlighted that lifestyle interventions, including 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week, can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes by up to 58% in high-risk individuals.
     

  8. Long-term Benefits on Health Outcomes: A study from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health showed that regular physical activity is associated with a 30-40% reduction in the risk of premature death and cardiovascular disease among individuals with diabetes.
     

  9. Improved Quality of Life: Research published in the Diabetes Spectrum Journal found that physical activity improves the quality of life in people with diabetes by enhancing both physical and mental health, including reductions in stress, anxiety, and depression.
     

  10. Muscle Strength and Fall Prevention: The American College of Sports Medicine notes that resistance training improves muscle strength, which is vital for glucose uptake by muscles and helps prevent falls and fractures, particularly in older adults with diabetes.​​
