Your muscles are your biggest blood-sugar sponge.
After you eat, sugar moves out of your blood and into your cells — and muscle takes up a big share of it. More muscle, used more often, means more places for that sugar to go.
That’s why strength training sits alongside walking in the exercise guidelines for type 2 diabetes. Not instead of your GP’s care — alongside it.
World Diabetes Day is Saturday. Save this, and send it to someone who’s been told to “just walk more”.
General information, not personal medical advice. If you’re on diabetes medication, talk to your GP before changing your exercise.
