As we all know Diabetes being a disease in which either the body doesn’t produce insulin to combat the increased blood glucose levels or doesn’t use insulin efficiently to lower the glucose levels. It has become more prevalent in modern times with a number of underlying factors. Cases keep increasing every year proportionally and we ourselves are more of responsible for getting it developed in our sacred bodies.

Exercising regularly is a great measure in managing diabetes among other effective ways namely weight control, eating a balanced meal and taking the prescribed medicine.

A regular workout session does improve the bone structure and makes it strong over the period of time. Blood flow improves with regular exercise hence increasing the nutrient flow to the skeletal system to make it further stronger.
Lean and strong muscles
In uncontrolled diabetes, muscle fibers are prone to get atrophied (decrease in size) and may cause permanent muscle mass loss as well. Its a well known fact that exercising regularly does conditioning of muscles making them flexible and strong. When a diabetic patient workout regularly, he/she is less prone of getting any muscular issues associated with high glucose levels.
Increased energy levels
As diabetes is a kind of disease which makes you fatigue earlier than usual due to increased levels of blood glucose in the body. Uncontrolled diabetes makes muscles less flexible and weak over a long time period. With a regular bout of exercise, glucose levels dip in a controlled manner hence helping the energy levels stay put throughout the day.
