Regular physical activity along with a healthy diet definitely helps to regulate the blood sugars in a diabetic patient. Exercise plays an important role in facilitating a good control of diabetes. In addition to strengthening and toning up the muscles, it consumes more energy derived from blood glucose and sensitizes the tissues to the action of insulin, which helps in keeping the blood glucose in a lower range.

Re: Can Diabetics Exercise
Be careful exercising when your medicine is reaching its peak effect
Please ensure that your sugar levels are not too high as intense exercise can have the opposite effect and actually increase your blood glucose levels. This is especially true for many people with diabetes.
The intense excercises is considered by body as stress and it releases more stress hormones
The increased stress hormones guides the body to release more blood glucose
For a variety of reasons, after exercise, people with diabetes may have an increase or a decrease in their blood sugar levels.
