It is well known that exercising can help control a lot of health issues including heart diseases, cancer, and diabetes. Aerobic exercises have long been shown to control blood sugar level (1). But you don’t need to limit your fitness plan to just cardio or aerobic exercises, especially if you are diabetic.
Recent research conducted at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in São Paulo State, Brazil, has shown that rigorous exercises such as strength and weight training can reduce accumulated liver fat and improve blood sugar control in obese and diabetic people in a short period, even before weight loss occurs.
