jpnn.com – Exercise is considered to have benefits for diabetics. Through certain movements on a regular basis will help control blood sugar, lower glucose levels and maintain weight balance.
“Diabetes exercise is similar to regular exercise, but the movements focus on a large number of muscles,” said gymnastics instructor and health activist, Citra Rosseline in a health webinar, Saturday (20/3).
He explained, diabetes exercise aims to make diabetics actively move so that the metabolism in the body is also better. The condition is carried out rhythmically and continuously for a long time.
Indraji Dwi Mulyawan, an Internal Medicine Specialist from Siloam Hospitals Putera Bahagia Cirebon, said Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia or an increase in blood sugar that occurs due to abnormalities in insulin secretion, insulin action or both.
The trigger is the failure of the pancreas to produce adequate amounts of the hormone insulin and has an impact on increasing blood glucose levels.
If it is not controlled, explained Doctor Indraji, it can cause acute complications and chronic complications. This acute complication is dangerous, sudden in nature and endangers human life.
“As for chronic complications, apart from disrupting the quality of life, treatment is also expensive,” he said.
In addition, during the Covid-19 pandemic, people with diabetes are accompanied by heart disease, are at risk and are very vulnerable to being exposed to the corona virus which can damage organs.
