Physical activity - in any shape of form - plays a major part of the way you take control of your diabetes.
Whether you’re on the dance floor until 3am, walking two miles back home after missing the bus, or playing as a striker for your local footie team - you are essentially doing the same thing. You sweat, burn calories and use up glucose in your body.
Physical activity is good for everyone, not just people with diabetes. It helps you to feel good, look better and keep trim. And it can actually be fun. You don’t need special clothes or gear to kick a ball around. Cycling, rollerblading, swimming, in fact all types of activity, can help your diabetes control.
