Supports exercise as adjunct in type II diabetes with hypoglycemia precautions for type I; leaves open optimal protocols for randomized trials.
Does regular physical exercise improve management and outcomes in patients with Type I and Type II diabetes mellitus?
Exercise is a beneficial adjunct therapy for diabetes management, particularly in type II diabetes for weight reduction and insulin sensitivity, though careful management is required to prevent hypoglycemia, especially in type I diabetes.
Edward S. Horton (1988) conducted a review in Diabetes Mellitus. Exercise was evaluated. Exercise is beneficial for managing type II diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity, but requires careful strategies to avoid hypoglycemia, particularly in type I diabetes.
