Walking isn’t enough for Diabetics. Diabetics walk., they try fasting. But they often miss the one thing that truly controls blood sugar → muscle.
Muscles are your biggest glucose sink.
If you don’t have enough muscle, there’s nowhere for sugar to go so it keeps circulating in your blood, raising sugar levels and complications.
→ Men should have at least 32% muscle mass
→ Women should have at least 26% muscle mass
Anything lower means fewer muscles to absorb glucose… and more sugar damaging your body.
This is especially important for women in India muscle building is rarely a priority.
So yes, keep walking.
Yes, practice structured fasting if advised. But also bring home 3 kg, 5 kg, 7.5 kg, or 10 kg dumbbells, Use resistance bands or join a gym.
Just 2 strength-training sessions per week can change your metabolic future.
Sugar control is not just about eating less. It’s about becoming stronger.
This is exactly why our clinical approach prioritizes muscle preservation and gain alongside nutrition and lifestyle correction rather than calorie obsession.
