Winter Fitness: Craft Your Personal Active Routine

 Customized healthy exercise prescription, get moving in the cold winter!

The weather is cold in winter, and many people with diabetes are reluctant to go out for exercise. However, blood sugar control is not good, so what should we do? Here are 3 suggestions to keep in mind:

1 Exercise for 30 minutes 1 hour after a meal

Postprandial hyperglycemia is a key factor leading to the development of chronic complications, so exercise generally has the best effect 1 hour after a meal. As exercise capacity gradually increases, effective exercise should be no less than 30 minutes to achieve the effect of lowering blood sugar.

2Exercise at least 5 times a week

Following the principle of gradual and perseverance, those with physical permission, especially obese patients with type 2 diabetes, should insist on exercising once a day. Studies have found that if the interval between exercise exceeds 3 to 4 days, the insulin sensitivity that has been acquired will be reduced, and the exercise effect and accumulation effect will be reduced.

3. The target heart rate is about 60% to 70% of the maximum heart rate.

In principle, it is required that diabetic patients who are older than 40 years old, have a disease duration of more than 10 years, and have symptoms and signs of cardiovascular disease should obtain target intensity through exercise testing. It is recommended that the exercise intensity at the beginning of training should be at a more comfortable level, and should be continued as time goes by. The improvement of endurance should be gradually increased cautiously to prevent cardiovascular accidents caused by exercise.

We often use target heart rate to reflect exercise intensity, which is about 60% to 70% of the maximum heart rate. The simple method is pulse rate reached during exercise = 170 - age. For example, a 60-year-old patient with type 2 diabetes, without other cardiovascular diseases and in good physical condition, should achieve a target pulse rate of 110 beats/min during exercise.

If this standard is not reached, the exercise intensity should be appropriately increased to reduce blood sugar. If it exceeds this standard, the exercise intensity should be appropriately reduced to prevent cardiovascular accidents caused by exercise.

Revolutionizing Therapy: Panacea's Next Leap - Unveiling the Future of Injection Pens

  Do you still have a sense of boundaries? I’m talking about semaglutide. On October 10, Novo Nordisk announced that the Phase III clinical trial of semaglutide in the treatment of kidney damage patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease was terminated early due to excellent efficacy. GLP-1 drugs are becoming a panacea, from reducing blood sugar and weight to chronic kidney disease, NASH, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, obstructive sleep apnea, intermittent claudication, dyslipidemia, and even improving psoriasis disease symptoms. In May this year, "Frontiers in Pharmacology" also discussed the treatment of GLP-1 for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), mucositis, short bowel syndrome, acute lung injury, pulmonary fibrosis, and pulmonary hypertension. Who can withstand this? The GLP-1 industry chain has finally become fragrant and long, from downstream drugs (Innovent Biologics, Hengrui Pharmaceuticals, Huadong Medicine, Changshan Pharmaceuticals,...

Essential Blood Glucose Checks for Diabetes Care

  Blood Glucose Monitoring: Essential for Diabetes Management Blood glucose monitoring is crucial for both professional diagnosis and daily management of diabetes. Recently, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems have become popular among diabetics. These systems use a sensor to measure glucose levels in the interstitial fluid under the skin, providing real-time blood glucose data. The Rise of Continuous Glucose Monitoring With the advancement of dynamic blood glucose monitoring technology, the compliance rate of diabetics has significantly improved. Unlike traditional finger-pricking methods, CGM technology offers a range of evaluation indicators and customizable high and low glucose alarms, making it highly favored among diabetics. Benefits and Challenges of Dynamic Monitoring Dynamic monitoring is becoming essential for type 1 diabetics and is also gaining acceptance among type 2 diabetics and those with prediabetes. Alongside tools like the Humalog KwikPen, it facilitates ...
