Diabetes involves high blood sugar levels caused by insulin resistance. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, helps cells absorb glucose for energy. Overexposure to insulin makes cells resistant, preventing glucose from entering and causing high blood sugar. Carbohydrates like flour, sugars, and bread increase blood sugar. To address diabetes, insulin resistance must be tackled. Exercise is a key tool for this, as muscle contractions enable glucose absorption without insulin, lowering blood sugar and reducing insulin production. Maintaining muscle mass is crucial for overall health. Start with simple exercises like walking, sit-to-stand, and wall push-ups, gradually increasing to 210 minutes per week.
