Overall, the health benefits cycling provides are enormous. It’s known to lower the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary artery disease, strokes, high cholesterol and obesity.

From what I understand, pretty much any exercise is known to lower the risk of diabetes. However, as the diabetes peer support manual that I received from the Diabetes Self Management Education (DSME) classes that I attended, says, it is best to consult your GP or diabetes specialist first before beginning a new exercise regimen, especially if you also have comorbidities such as cardiovascular problems.

Your post has been curated by @frittro of the Hive Diabetes Peer Support (HDPS) Community. We are a new HIVE Community created recently, and officially launched on 1-Apr-2022, here on the social blockchain and on Discord. Our goal is to become a place to discuss your own or a loved one's experience of diabetes, for shared mutual peer support and encouragement.
