The article concludes that structured exercise training that consists of aerobic exercise, resistance training, or both combined is associated with HbA1c reduction in patients with type 2 diabetes. Structured exercise training of more than 150 minutes per week is associated with greater HbA1c declines than that of 150 minutes or less per week. Physical activity advice is associated with lower HbA1c, but only when combined with dietary advice. Filed under: A...

The evidence is compelling that when insulin levels are high, certain tissues are overloaded with fatty molecules, which leads to insulin resistance. And yet, the high blood glucose levels of many obese patients with insulin-resistant type 2 diabetes are being treated with increasing amounts of insulin in an attempt to overpower that resistance. While high doses of insulin may lower glucose levels, it will also increase the fatty molecules and may cause organ damage. There are so many options to help one lose weight in this case. You can search out a nutritionist, see a weight loss specialist and use combination medication and exercise and th...

The trials compared 7 men performing either: 1) a 60 minute session of exercise once 2) a 30 minute session of exercise twice, separated by a 20 minute session of rest and 3) rest. The first 30 minutes of both exercise groups showed a significant increase in growth hormone, epinephrine and norepinephrine. However, in the interval session (30 minute sessions separated by 20 minutes of rest) the free fatty acids (FFA) levels rose significantly in the 20 minute rest period. During the subsequent 30-min exercise interval, FFA was significantly greater in the second interval training sessions than in the single 60 minute session. More importantly for us diabetics...

Asians and South Asians can have abdominal obesity (and associated insulin resistance) at BMIs that are considered “normal.” It isn’t the BMI that is the problem, it is the abdominal, and in particular, intraabdominal or visceral fat – that is the problem. (I am willing to bet Ms R has plenty of fat around her middle.Although her most recent fasting glucose level is normal, this woman is at risk for Type 2 diabetes because her father had it. And, as the doctor discussant pointed out he didn’t test her to see if she was glucose intolerant. You have to do a glucose tolerance test (drink a sugary substance and have blood drawn at regular intervals after that) to detect this type of insulin-resista...
