Combined Exercises May Be Best for Type 2 Diabetes, New Study

A new study suggests aerobic and resistance training combined are the most effective ways for diabetics to control their blood sugar, rather than each individually.

The study, published in the journal Diabetologia, conducted 14 trials with 915 participants.

Results showed that in patients with established diabetes, aerobic exercise is more effective in controlling blood sugar and fasting glucose than resistance training.

But a combination of the two had a far bigger impact on blood sugar control.

Researcher Lukas Schwingshackl said: “Further high quality with long-term exercise interventions are needed to develop definitive recommendations.

“In the meantime, combined aerobic and resistance training can be recommended as part of a lifestyle programme in the management of Type 2 diabetes wherever possible.

“Supervised workouts should be favoured, though of course we accept it is not possible for most people to have supervised workouts in the course of day-to-day living.”
