- Exercise improves glucose metabolism and other cardiovascular risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes1.2
- High levels of physical activity are associated with substantial reductions in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, and total mortality decreases by 20% to 30% for every 1000 kcal/wk of physical activity.3
- People with diabetes are twice as likely to have heart disease or a stroke than someone who doesn’t have diabetes.4
- Being physically active makes your body more sensitive to insulin, which helps manage your diabetes. Physical activity also helps control blood sugar levels and lowers your risk of heart disease.5
- Most exercise training studies of patients with diabetes have focused on glycemic control and less on the effects of exercise on cardiovascular health.6
