Glycated hemoglobin, also called glycohemoglobin, is a form of hemoglobin (Hb) that is chemically linked to a sugar. [note 1] Most monosaccharides, including glucose, galactose, and fructose, spontaneously (that is, non-enzymatically) bond with hemoglobin when they are present in the bloodstream.
Several studies have made it clear that exercise helps with blood sugar control and has shown to lower HbA1c levels by approximately 0.6% in patients with T2D. The ADA recommends 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous aerobic exercise a week spread over 3 to 7 days with no more than 2 day break between days.
