Some of the benefits that exercise can have for people with diabetes include:

Weight management: Maintaining a healthy weight can reduce insulin resistance and
support your metabolism, which can help you maintain weight loss over time.

Blood sugar control: When you exercise, you improve your body's sensitivity to insulin.
Over time, this can help your cells use glucose more effectively. This removes excess
glucose from your blood and helps to reduce overall blood sugar levels.

Heart health: People with diabetes are at a higher risk of developing heart disease.
Exercise can help to lower your blood pressure, achieve and maintain healthy cholesterol
levels, and lower your overall risk of developing cardiovascular conditions.

Stress reduction: Managing your stress is an important part of treating diabetes, as
anxiety and stress can increase blood sugar levels. Exercise helps to support positive
mental health, potentially lowering the amount of and severity of diabetes symptoms
you experience.

Improved circulation: Diabetes can make it harder for your body to heal from wounds,
and you may also experience neuropathy (nerve damage) that affects your movement.
Exercise can help to improve circulation, which can work to mitigate these conditions.
