'Dose-Response' Between Exercise and Improvement in Diabetes
-
The more patients with type 2 diabetes exercise, the greater their drop in A1c, according to a new post-hoc analysis of data collected during 6 months of supervised exercise. This dose–response relationship between exercise and reductions in A1c held firm for those who did aerobic training or a mixture of aerobic and resistance exercises (combined), but not for those who only did resistance exercises.

@manisha The findings suggest that an increased volume of aerobic or combined aerobic and resistance exercise is associated with greater improvement in glycemic control. In addition, the results support aerobic and combined exercise prescriptions outlined in clinical practice guidelines.
