Exercising Safely with Diabetes podologist Neptune Monmouth County Jersey Shore Spring Lake Marlboro Ocean Township Oakhurst Toms River Redbank Seagirt Freehold Manalapan Wall Township Allenhurst Deal Shrewsbury Little Silver Rumson New Jersey SuperUser Account / Monday, March 11, 2019 0 2804 Article rating: No rating One of the biggest frustrations about living with diabetes is how it seems to make your efforts to fight it more challenging. You want to eat better, but just about everything you love has been taking of your list. You want to be prepared, but you have such strict medications now. And there’s exercise. There is no denying that consistent activity is a boon toward building stability, stabilizing blood sugar, and maintaining healthy circulation. These are all fantastic—but you still need to exercise some caution. If you don’t exercise wisely and listen to what your body is trying to tell you, there is a chance you can risk doing more harm instead of good. Also, as you might expect hearing from us, not paying attention to your feet can lead to injuries that can impede your efforts or, even worse, grow into major problems. So if you have been thinking of exercising with diabetes (and you should be in some regard), it can be very important to keep the following tips in mind. Consult Before You Begin You might see this all the time in articles that discuss exercise and physical activity, but you really should check in with your doctor before you start a routine. A physician who knows your history with diabetes and other conditions can best advise you on how to ease into a regimen that doesn't increase your risks of injury, make a poor complement to your medications, or cause other problems. On the other side of the coin, they can also help you find the best ways to optimize what you are doing to reap the most benefits from it. It’s a win-win-situation. There is absolutely no shame in discussing your workout plans with a doctor, especially if your plans are low-intensity. A workout that heavily relies on walking or other less stressful activities can still be an excellent resource for you, and we want to be sure you are getting the best from it. Read more
