Exercise, in combination with proper diet (and usually weight loss), can reduce your need for diabetes medication, sometimes drastically. In some cases your blood sugar levels will return to normal and you can go off the meds completely! (However, diabetes is a progressive disease. Even after your blood sugar level returns to normal, you must continue to monitor it and see your doctor regularly. Even with the best diet and exercise regimen, high blood sugar levels can return.) The combination of exercise and weight loss can mean better blood sugar control and creates a long-term protection against heart disease and other chronic conditions for people with diabetes (and everyone else).
