I
believe that no matter what medication or superior types
of insulin are evolved, or methods of injecting are
made, combinations of drugs found etc. there is no treatment
for diabetes without a daily regular walking habit.
One has just got to believe this understand it and accept
it.
 When
we eat food all the food is digested and converted to
glucose, which is sent into the blood stream. At each
meal the body requires and utilizes a certain amount
of glucose for the bodies needs, e.g. 350 cals. If you
have eaten 400, then 50 cals. extra has come in and
this has to be removed or it records as blood sugar.
Insulin is called to work and removes this sugar and
sends it as fat to be stored in the fat cells.
In
a diabetic patient the insulin function is disturbed
and this removal of glucose and fat deposition in the
fat cells is not happening normally. When one walks,
firstly it improves the functioning of the insulin present
in the body. Walking stimulates and improves the function
of all glands and hormones in the body and this cannot
be done by anything as effectively as when we walk.
Secondly
for fat to enter into the fat cells a particular mechanism
which is like opening the gates of the fat cell for
the fat to enter into it has to be set into action and
this cannot be done with any medication or food or even
a machine but only by regular aerobic movement like
walking for a minimum of 20-30 minutes.
If
you walk the gates are open, immediately insulin is
messaged to work more efficiently and glucose is removed
from the blood and sugar levels will come down. However
the walking has to be all the 7 days just like you are
eating all the 7 days and taking your medication all
the 7 days.
 If
you are already used to walking for 1 hour please continue
that but if you find it difficult to be regular, th
en cut it to 45 minutes but please do it daily. If you
are not walking at all now, then please start immediately
with 20 minutes daily and slowly work up to 30 minutes
and be very, very regular with that.
If
you are already doing a walk daily and for some reason
the sugar levels are suddenly rising please consult
your doctor about your medication. Besides this you
may try a morning and evening walk. 45 minutes morning
7 days a week and 20-30 minutes evening 5 times a week.
Or 20 morning plus 20 evening or 30plus30 minutes. (Cycling
is not enough for a diabetic. It has to be walking)
We
are recommending moderate exercise but it must be very,
very regular, Atleast20- 30 minutes walk once everyday
is a must for every diabetic! (If it rains, walk in
your hall or basement or balcony, but you must walk!!!
