to maintain their blood sugar and it has been shown to work just as well as medications. Any physical activity can improve type two diabetes, whether that is walking, swimming, or dancing, any type of movement that burns calories. People living with type two diabetes go through many challenges, one of those challenges is keeping on top of blood glucose levels. Exercise will not only improve blood sugar levels, but can also allow the body to be more sensitive to insulin, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke which are common illnesses associated with diabetes. By exercising, the body becomes more sensitive to insulin allowing for better absorption of glucose by the muscle cells, not only during but up to 24 hours later as well. Through many studies, it has been made clear that exercise helps with glycemic control and has shown to lower HbA1c levels by approximately 4.2 mmol/mol (0.6%). Studies show that exercise along with diet can slow the rate of impaired glucose tolerance in those with type two diabetes. With that, it is recommended people with type two diabetes take part in 150 minutes on average of exercise a week. There have not been studies that show how exercise can help manage blood glucose levels in those with type one diabetes. Studies on youth and young adults with type one diabetes where the HBA1c was monitored in both a controlled group and intervention group over a 1-3 month and even up to 5 month program showed no consistent effect on glycemic control. Possible factors that may affect the impact of exercise on management of glucose levels in type one diabetes are that energy consumption increases near time of exercise to account for possible hypoglycaemic episodes; this may be the reason type one diabetics do not see the lowering of glucose levels during exercise. Those with type one diabetes are also prone to nocturnal hypoglycaemic episodes due to exercise as the translocation and expression of GLUT4, which is an insulin-regulated glucose transporter that is used to give glucose to muscle and fat cells, are increased by exercise. Those with type one diabetes may be more apprehensive of exercising out of fear of hypoglycaemia. Although exercise may not offer any direct benefit to lower blood glucose levels in those with type one diabetes, there are still many benefits such as a decreased risk of cardiovascular diseases, including blood
