A new study review supports the idea that sitting less and moving more can help people manage diabetes. Researchers from Newcastle University, who conducted the review offer tips that can help people stay active.
"While being more physically active often conjures up images of hours on a treadmill or competitive marathon running - walking, using the stairs and just moving more in everyday life can be effective in helping manage diabetes," said Professor Mike Trenell , author of the study from Newcastle University.
Researchers reviewed over 8,000 studies and examined in depth 17 studies to see how health professionals helped improve physical activity of people diagnosed with diabetes type-2. They identified 21 behaviors that had a positive impact on peoples' health.
