Type 2 diabetes is the scourge of our times. Globally there are over 425 million diabetics which is projected to rise to 629 million by 2045, suffering devastating consequences resulting in significant morbidity and mortality.1-3Bringing blood sugars down can be challenging. Dietary control, lifestyle modifications and exercise can help but these can be difficult to implement.4 Medically, drugs are the usual method of bringing blood sugar levels under control but they come with their attendant risks and ongoing costs.5 Apart from drugs, the main arsenal against diabetes is exercise but due to one reason or another it is not very popular or practical. In the absence of antidiabetic medications and episodic exercises there seems to be no alternative left. So, when a person is unable to exercise or is not on hypoglycaemic agents, he is rendered defenceless against the deleterious effects of raised blood sugar levels. Regardless, muscles form the frontline defence against diabetes since muscles are the main modifiable factor in utilization of glucose by the body which they can do even in the absence of insulin.6,7 Hence, muscles need to be the first line agents to fight diabetes. However, the muscles need to be activated when the blood sugars are high, that is, within minutes or hours after meals rather than exercising in the morning or evening when the blood sugar may be relatively low. The question is ‘How do we get the muscles to start using up glucose right when it enters the blood stream?’ This is where the manoeuvres described below can help since these can be done almost anytime and anywhere. Following are the proposed manoeuvres:Calf contractions: Alternate contractions of calf muscles of each leg while sitting, giving a good squeeze to the calf muscles. Alternatively, one or both calves can be contracted and held for some time. This manoeuvre can be done even while lying in bed.Pectoral pressure: One or both pectorals can be contracted and held for 30-60 seconds-longer the better. The strength of contractions will depend on one’s motivation and ability. Alternatively, moderate contractions can be maintained for a longer duration.Shoulder squeezes: The back has some of the strongest muscles which can be used to ‘pulverise’ the sugars. In this method the person can sit slightly bent forwards and the shoulders are pulled back and held in that position for 30-60 seconds.These manoeuvres can be done either singly or combined with other manoeuvres described or with dietary modifications, regular exercises or medications for greater efficacy.Of course, like the antidiabetic medications, these manoeuvres need to be titrated, especially when combined with hypoglycaemic agents, otherwise they can lead to hypoglycaemia.8 Even without antidiabetic medication they have the ability to cause hypoglycaemia, if done excessively. Once the muscles get used to these manoeuvres it will be easier for them to use glucose and keep blood sugars down.

Diabetes is an asymptomatic disease in most people, so there could be a good number of people who may not be aware of their diabetes before they caught COVID-19. Some studies state that in poorly resourced countries, as many as 50% of people with chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, are undiagnosed. Theoretically, COVID-19 can also cause diabetes as the pancreas have ACE2 receptors, which can enable SARS COV2 to enter the pancreatic beta cells, resulting in structural and functional damage. The present study is carried out to know the traditional Ayurvedic treatment for Diabetes Mellitus. For Diabetes Ayurvedic drugs, Pathyasevana and Yogic lifestyle are one of the best choices of management for their prime role in maintaining blood sugar levels and preventing Diabetes. The present study showed a significant effect on associated complaints.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease caused by the inability of the pancreas to produce enough insulin, or the body cannot effectively use the insulin produced by the pancreas. Regular aerobic physical activity in people with a diagnosis of DM can improve insulin sensitivity. The prevalence of DM in Indonesia based on Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) in 2018 is 10.9% while in Riau province occupies the third-highest rank in Indonesia. This study aims to determine the description of physical activity and blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus at the Sidomulyo Health Center, Pekanbaru City. This study is descriptive with cross-sectional design. The sampling technique in this study was a total sampling of 24 people with DM type 2. Data collection for physical activity variables was carried out using a questionnaire included in PAL (Physical Activity Level). Measurement of blood sugar levels in patients with DM is done by taking respondent capillary blood then measured using a glucometer (Easy Touch GCU). Univariate analysis was carried out to analyze the variables of physical activity and blood sugar levels which were then presented in the form of frequency distribution tables and narratives. The results showed a description of the level of physical activity in respondents who suffer from DM as many as 16 people (66.7%) with mild physical activity levels, and 8 people (33.3%) with moderate levels of physical activity. Description of fasting blood sugar levels of respondents as many as 19 people (79.2%) had controlled fasting blood sugar levels, and 5 people (20.8%) had uncontrolled fasting blood sugar levels.

Diabetes exercises are physical exercises designed according to age and physical status and are part of the treatment of diabetes mellitus. When a person does physical exercise in the muscles of the body, the heart system and blood circulation and breathing are activated. Therefore, the body's metabolism, fluid and electrolyte balance and acid base must adjust. Muscles will use free fatty acids and glucose as a source of energy or energy. When physical exercise begins glucose originating from muscle-muscled glycogen when physical exercise starts being used as a source of energy. Assessing the effect of the implementation of prolanis exercise activities on reducing blood sugar levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Puskesmas Padangmatinggi in 2019. This type of research is quantitative with a quasi-experimental design that designs using one group pretest-posttest, when this study was conducted in January-April year 2020.
