Physical Activity with Diabetes
Carol D. Gray, MHA
Exercise Physiologist
October 15, 2002
Diabetes Mellitus
General information
Risks of disease mismanagement
Exercise benefits
Exercise recommendations
Special exercise concerns
Diabetes Factoids
14 million Americans have
diabetes
Many people do not know
they are affected.
Complications include…
kidney failure
hypertension
cardiovascular disease
retinopathy
neuropathy
Complications . . .
NOT Inevitable result
Risk is reduced by 50% if blood sugars
are kept close to normal.
Good blood sugar control can help to
slow complications that have begun.
Inevitable when disease state is
mismanaged
What Is Optimal Blood Sugar?
Optimal defined as
•Hemoglobin A1c =
7.0 or lower
•Plasma blood sugars less
than 180 mg/dl two hours
after eating
•Plasma blood sugars less
than 140 mg/dl before
eating
Risks of Mismanagement
Hastened Complications
Kidney failure
Hypertension
Cardiovascular Disease
Retinopathy
Neuropathy
Foot ulcers
Amputation
Blindness
Poor Health
Low Quality of Life
Risks- Cardiovascular Disease
Leading cause of
premature death
among diabetics
65% of diabetics die
from heart attack or
stroke
Smoking doubles the
risk CVD for
diabetics
Risks- Neuropathy
One of the most
common complications
Damage to nerves
outside the brain and
spinal cord
Symptoms
Muscular weakness
Loss of feeling
Loss of function not
under conscious
control, i.e. digestion
Risks- Retinopathy
Damage to retinal
blood vessels
causing them to
leak fluid/blood
into retina
Can lead to
blindness
Diabetics have risk
of blindness 25
times greater than
healthy persons
What are the benefits of
EXERCISE?
Exercise Benefits
Stimulates insulin
function
Easier to maintain
optimal blood sugar
Assists in weight
management
Decreased incidence
and severity of
complications
Increased functional
capacity
Improved muscle tone
Lower cholesterol and
triglycerides
Reduces stress
Improved
concentration
Decreased appetite
Exercise can not
counter the effects of
poor nutrition
Exercise and Proper Nutrition
Enable Disease Management To
Be Possible!
Exercise Recommendations
To Begin...
Obtain medical clearance from your
physician before beginning exercise.
Wear medical alert identification on a
bracelet or necklace
Never exercise if you have high blood sugar
High blood sugar = Greater than 300 mg/dl
Next Step… Get Moving!
Choose an aerobic
activity you enjoy
Examples- walking,
bicycling, swimming,
running, jumping
rope, tennis, aerobic
dance,etc.
Start at an easy pace
Increase your pace
and time spent
gradually
Aerobic Example
Warm up 10-15 min Light Pace
Pick up pace 5 min Light-Moderate
Maximum pace 15 min Moderate-
Somewhat Hard
Cool down 5-10 min Light
60-90% Max Heart Rate
20-40 minutes
Perform 4-7 days/week
Time Of Day For Exercise
Be consistent- improves timing of insulin action
Avoid exercise at time of peak insulin action
Evening- not recommended
Delayed hypoglycemia when sleeping
Morning-
After a small snack and before the morning insulin
injection may reduce risk of exercise-induced
hypoglycemia
Also, greatest influence on maintaining stable blood
sugar throughout the day
Increase Overall Activity
Daily activities have
benefit
Examples:
Walk to the store
instead of driving
Walk your dog
Take the stairs
Push mow the lawn
Wash the car
Signs of Hypoglycemia
Thirst
Excessive sweating
Faintness
Rapid heart rate
Irritability
Unusual
drowsiness/fatigue
Hunger
Blurred/double vision
Shakiness, Trembling
Signs of Hyperglycemia
Confused
Nauseous, Vomiting
Headache
Breath has sweet, fruity
odor
Weight Training
Also beneficial in
disease
management
Improves insulin
sensitivity
Easier to maintain
optimal blood
sugar
Strength Training . . .
Add after 2 weeks of regular aerobic activity
Through trial and error, find a weight
challenging for 10-15 repetitions
If additional weight is not available, focus
on increasing repetition
Perform 2-3 sets/exercise
2-3 days/week
Strength Training Workout
Warm up aerobically 5 min.
One Arm Bent-Over Row 2 x 15
Wall Slide 2 x 15
Side-Lying Hip Abduction 2 x 15
Standing Heel Raise 2 x 15
Wall/Modified Push-Up 2 x 15
Abdominal Crunch 2 x 20
Cool Down aerobically 5 min.
Stretch 1 x 30 sec.
Special Exercise Concerns
Appropriate
Exercising Blood
Sugars
Proper Footwear
Monitor blood sugar
When?
Before, during, and after exercise
Why?
Learn your body’s response to exercise
Avoid hypoglycemia
Determine an appropriate pre-exercise
snack
Type of Exercise Blood Sugar Exchanges to Add
Short Duration, Low-
Moderate Intensity
