Exercise and Diabetes
Diabetes can be divided in two types; Type 1 and Type 2. A very basic explanation is that the pancreas, an organ in our body does not produce or is not producing enough insulin. What is insulin? Insulin is a hormone that regulates sugar in our body. Therefore Type 1 need to inject insulin to regulate blood sugar in the body as the Pancreas is not producing insulin while in Type 2 it is not producing enough.
How does exercise help? Exercise helps to control your blood sugar ( altough for type 1 medication is necessary for control), it helps in weight management therefore your quality of life , and helps you avoid other complications that might arise from Diabetes.
What type of exercise should you do? Cardiovascular exercise is one of the best ways to your health.But how much exercise is necessary for Health benefits?
According to ACSM Type 2 Diabetics should at least spend 1000 kcal per week in aerobic activity. The intensity should be low to moderate at 40-70% of one's oxygen uptake (Level 4 Personal Trainers will be able to calculate this for you).If you want a simplified system then it should be somewhere between 50% and 75% of your maximum heart rate.
Good examples of aerobic training are walking, running, cycling, swimming or a circuit weight training system with light weights and many repetitions. If you are interested in walking programs join us for the Walk with us program if you live in Malta.
It is important that Diabetics monitor their own blood sugar before exercising and/or after exercising. Nowadays it can easily be done with your own portable glucose monitor equipment- Learn how to do it to prevent any emergency- seek your doctor's advice.
If you self monitor yourself you would know if to delay exercise, eat some carbohydrates like a piece of bread before you start exercising or to reduce an insulin dosage.Take care and seek a professional's advice but rememeber Exercise at the RIGHT DOSE makes your life - a life of quality.

Exercise Prescription: A Case Study Approach to the ACSM Guidelines - 2nd Edition (Book) $29.95 You will find no better preparation source for the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) certification than the new, second edition of Exercise Prescription: A Case Study Approach to the ACSM Guidelines. Authors David Swain and Brian Leutholtz present a series of case studies to help you translate the ACSM guidelines for exercise prescription into practical knowledge. This second edition of Exercise Prescription utilizes the most up-to-date information published in the seventh edition of the ACSM’s Guidelines to provide an excellent study resource not only for those preparing for ACSM certification, but for any certification that follows the guidelines set by the ACSM. And unlike the numerous texts that concentrate on the theory and fundamentals of exercise prescription guidelines, this text presents real-life case studies that clearly show readers how the information is applied. You will find new criteria for screening, risk factor thresholds, and fitness norms, as well as revised recommendations for exercise intensity. The text also contains expanded readings on special populations such as pregnant women, children, and various types of cardiac patients. From beginning to end, this book is organized to help you build your exercise prescription acumen and confidence. The book begins with a section on fitness assessment and determining clients’ risk stratification. Next is a discussion of the basic principles of exercise prescription, including VodO2 reserve, followed by information on how to use the ACSM metabolic equations. Finally, you will put those equations to work in chapters featuring case studies that present exercise prescriptions for cardiorespiratory fitness, weight loss, muscular strength and flexibility, and special client populations such as children, older adults, and clients with heart disease, diabetes, or hypertension.Exercise Prescription: A Case Study Approach to the ACSM Guidelines, Second Edition, is formatted for easy reading and includes an appendix of 10 additional case studies-complete with 100 questions and answers-to help you assess your newly gained knowledge. The hands-on, practical approach of this text makes it an ideal resource as you prepare for ACSM certification and enhance your ability to prescribe appropriate exercise for a variety of clients.5/14/2007 copyright, 208 pages. |
