How does regular exercise help lower HbA1c levels?

Exercise helps lower HbA1c levels by improving insulin sensitivity and allowing your body to use glucose more effectively. Physical activity, especially aerobic exercises like walking, swimming, or cycling, helps reduce blood sugar levels both during and after exercise. Regular exercise also helps with weight management, which is crucial for controlling blood sugar in people with Type 2 diabetes. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week to see improvements in your HbA1c. Consistency is key, and even small amounts of daily physical activity can make a big difference in blood sugar control.
