Covid: Exercise could treat long Covid-induced diabetes – even ‘walking slowly’ could help
“Exercise can help. Exercise takes care of the inflammation that leads to elevated blood glucose and the development and progression of diabetes.”
In the UK alone, it’s estimated that about 1.3 million people suffer from long Covid, a survey from the Office for National Statistics suggests.
The startling aspect of long-term symptoms is that they can be also experienced after only a mild infection.
“For example, a person may not get very sick from COVID-19, but six months later, long after the cough or fever is gone, they develop diabetes,” Dr Rebello noted.
