American Diabetes Association exercise recommendations for managing diabetes!
✅ Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.
✅ Choose activities like brisk walking, swimming, or stationary cycling.
✅ Incorporate strength training exercises at least two days a week, focusing on major muscle groups.
📈🩸 Regular physical activity helps:
1️⃣ Increase insulin sensitivity, allowing your body to use glucose more effectively.
2️⃣ Lower blood sugar levels, reducing the need for additional medication.
3️⃣ Improve circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to you and your baby.
Stay active, stay healthy! 💪🚶♀️👶
