Research has shown that physical activity can play a major role in controlling both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, physical activity is an important part of your overall regimen, which includes taking insulin, meal planning and exercise. If you have type 2 diabetes, losing weight allows your natural insulin to do a better job of lowering blood glucose levels, which may also help your diabetes medications work better.
