Combining aerobics and weight training is the best exercise regime for diabetics to help lower their blood sugar, a US study has found.
Researchers randomised 262 sedentary men and women with type 2 diabetes and HbA1C levels of 6.5 per cent or higher to either no exercise, an aerobic exercise programme, resistance training or a combination of both exercises for nine months.
The authors said: “A combination of aerobic and resistance training compared with the non-exercise control group improved HbA1C levels.
“This was not achieved by aerobic or resistance training alone.”
