At Bute Pharmacy, located in the charming town of Rothesay on the Isle of Bute, we believe in empowering individuals to take control of their health. One of the ways we do this is through our Boost Health: Diabetes Exercise Classes. These classes are designed specifically for people living with diabetes, helping them to maintain a healthy lifestyle through physical activity and education.

Understanding Diabetes

Diabetes is a condition that affects how your body processes glucose, which is essential for energy. There are two main types: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 2 diabetes can often be managed with a combination of diet, exercise, and medication. Regular physical activity plays a key role in controlling blood sugar levels and improving overall health.

Why Exercise is Important for Diabetes Management

Regular exercise can help you control your weight, lower blood sugar levels, and reduce the risk of complications associated with diabetes, such as heart disease and nerve damage. It also has positive effects on mood and energy levels. According to the NHS, adults with diabetes should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise each week, supplemented with activities to improve muscle strength.
