Safe and Supported Exercise Physiology Training at Healthstin Belmont for Managing Your Sugar Levels
Move with Confidence to Manage Blood Sugar Levels
Every year on November 14th, the world recognises World Diabetes Day, a global call to action to improve diabetes awareness, prevention, and management. This year's theme, "Diabetes and Wellbeing," emphasises the importance of promoting physical, mental, and social wellbeing for everyone living with or at risk of diabetes.
Here in Australia, the statistics are striking: more than 2 million people are at high risk of developing diabetes, whilst over 1.2 million Australians are estimated to have known diabetes, according to the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS), the Australian Health Survey (National Health Survey, 2014–15), and the AusDiab study (1999–2000). Beyond medication and diet, structured exercise programmes play a powerful role in controlling blood glucose, enhancing insulin sensitivity, and improving overall health outcomes.
That's where Healthstin Belmont steps in. Our Exercise Physiology services are designed to help clients manage their sugar levels safely and effectively, with expert guidance, compassionate care, and a personalised plan for every individual.
Understanding Diabetes and Why Movement Matters
Diabetes occurs when the body can't properly regulate blood sugar (glucose), leading to high levels that, over time, can damage the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves. But regular physical activity is one of the most effective tools for prevention and management.
According to Diabetes Australia (2025), exercise can help lower HbA1c (average blood glucose levels), improve insulin action, and reduce cardiovascular risk, even for those living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. A diabetes exercise plan, when supervised by an Accredited Exercise Physiologist (AEP), can be tailored safely to match each person's fitness level, medication use, and goals.
At Healthstin Belmont, clients benefit from a supported environment where movement is carefully structured to meet individual health needs, whether they're newly diagnosed, living with long-term diabetes, or at risk of developing it.
The Science Behind Exercise Physiology and Blood Sugar Control
1. Aerobic Exercise: Improving Insulin Sensitivity
Activities such as walking, swimming, or cycling help the body use insulin more efficiently. Research from Cardiovascular Diabetology–Endocrinology Reports (2025) confirms that 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week can significantly improve glucose control and lower HbA1c levels.
2. Resistance Training: Building Muscle, Managing Glucose
Muscle acts as a glucose sink—the more muscle you build, the better your body can absorb and use sugar. Strength-based exercises under the supervision of an AEP ensure progress without risk of injury or hypoglycemia.
3. Flexibility and Balance: Supporting Safe, Sustainable Activity
For those managing diabetes complications such as neuropathy or joint pain, flexibility and balance exercises reduce falls risk and enhance confidence in movement.
With expert support, every programme becomes a safe, evidence-based journey toward better health and improved wellbeing.
