Arlington, Virginia - The American Diabetes Association (ADA) is calling on people across the country to get moving in honor of its fourth annual National Get Fit Don’t Sit DayTM on May 2. Celebrated each year on the first Wednesday in May, National Get Fit Don’t Sit Day aims to increase awareness of the dangers of prolonged sitting and the importance of moving more throughout the day. The ADA’s 2018 Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes recommend breaking up sedentary time with three or more minutes of physical activity such as walking, leg extensions or overhead arm stretches every 30 minutes for improved health outcomes in addition to getting the recommended 30 minutes a day, five days per week, of moderate exercise. Regular physical activity reduces the risk for type 2 diabetes and helps people with type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes manage blood glucose.
