[QUOTE="DCUK NewsBot, post: 683476, member: 106455"] Certain genes may prevent regular exercise from improving blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes, a new study suggests. These genes may affect up to a fifth of people with type 2 diabetes. The research does not, however, suggest that exercise has no benefit whatsoever, even for people affected by these genes. Dr. Maria Pena, director of the Centre for Weight Management at Syosset Hospital, said: "For many years we have been under the impression that exercise helps decrease insulin resistance in muscles. "However, from clinical experience we are still puzzled by the discrepancies between patients that we see in varying weight loss, exercise, and changes in metabolic profile."
