RECENT PROGRESS
ON
EXERCISE
THERAPY
FOR
DIABETES
Type
I
or "juvenile" diabetes
(children and
adolescents)
is
in-
sulin dependent. Type ll
or
insu-
lin-independent diabetes, has
a
gradual onset and
milderform. As
an
"alternative" method
for
Type
ll,
exercise
therapy
(not
for Type
l). Obese patients who have
al-
ready gained some
success
in
controlling diabetes
through
medical
treatment and
diet
adjustment. The author opined
that Type
I
with satisfactory con-
trol
by medication
or
by minimal
insulin
may
also
qualify.
However, all patients with com-
plications
are not
suitable;
so
are
those
with
pregnancy diarrhea,
vomiting, poor
food
intake,
or
ever had hypoglycemia,
etc.
1
unit: mild exercise
lor
20-30 min-
utes
or
10
minutes of
moderate
exercises,
e.9.,
brisk
walking,
climbing the stairs, etc. 2-3 units/
day suffice.
Exercise serves to
increase glucose utilization
by
the muscles;
help
to
reduce
body
weight;
help to increase fatty
acid
utilization: reduce
risk
of
coronar-
ies and strokes; stimulate
the
opening
of
collateral
coronary
arteries;
improve
general
health
and outlook. Before
exercises
(progressive,
at
0.5-1
hour
after
meals), check with your
doctor,
including blood sugar >5.5. Have
sweets
ready.
