It’s a chronic disease that manifests in young people and adults too. Main characteristics are the rise of hyperglycemia (increased rate of blood sugars), causes disorder in carbohydrate, protein, lipid and electrolyte metabolism. Due to insufficient secretion of insulin from pancreas cells, this disease is responsible for many problems in human organism.
Diabetes is a metabolism disorder that body can’t use regularly glucose as an energy source. There are 2 types of diabetes, type I or youth diabetes or depending on insulin and type II or no depending on insulin diabetes.
Diabetes type I is known as youth age diabetes because it’s appeared at first 20 years of life. At diabetes type I, pancreas produces minimum or not at all insulin. Then the person must take inject every day insulin.
Many studies proved that exercise increases sensitiveness or reduces the cell resistance in insulin, as a result, diabetics who participate in organized exercise programs reduce the receiving of insulin even stopping the treatment.
Exercise can treat diabetes and its complications with direct and indirect ways. In direct ways belongs the effect that causes in the membrane of muscular cells, so that she can be more penetrated by glycose, and also the better function of insulin that circulates in the organism. In the indirect ways, belongs the positive effect of exercise in obesity, that usually accompanies diabetes.
Systematic exercise should be avoided when diabetes isn’t adjusted and when vascular and skin complications exist. However, in other patients it is recommended to perform aerobic exercise, but being careful in nutrition due to hypoglycaemia, insulin dosage and other medicine. Exercise isn’t dangerous, especially if it is treated with insulin, when severe prevention measures are applied. For example, a small meal 30 minutes before exercise, avoidance of exercise while maximum effect of insulin, avoidance of muscle participation in exercise that was injected with insulin and modifying insulin dosage the day of exercise. The confirmation and cooperation with doctor necessary, as of course it is for every participation in exercise.
