My father has diabetes, and the doctor always tells him to walk daily. But sometimes he feels very tired. Is exercise always beneficial for diabetes, or are there times when it might not be a good idea?

Yes, exercise is extremely helpful for diabetes. A simple 30-minute walk after dinner can significantly drop your fasting blood sugar levels next morning.

Exercise is good, but you must be very careful about sudden low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) during workouts. I once collapsed in the park because I didn't check my sugar levels before exercising. Please consult your physician to learn how to balance your medicine and physical activity safely.

Think of exercise as your body's natural way of paying rent for all those sweets you had in your 20s! It really helps process the glucose. Just don't run a marathon on day one; start slow and let your pancreas thank you.

I have been managing diabetes for 12 years. Regular muscle contraction through resistance bands or walking helps cells absorb glucose even without insulin. My tip is to always carry a small piece of candy or glucose tablets in your pocket during exercise, just in case.

My dad has type 2 diabetes and his doctor told him to do daily walking and basic strength training. It actually worked wonders; his HbA1c dropped from 8.2 to 6.5 in just four months. You just need to be consistent with it.
