[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 1659108, member: 256617"] Exercise was one of the first diabetes reversal tools I came across. On a static quality bike (I was lucky to get one of my wife's cast off Lifecycle machines) I was able to go from 8's to 4's for blood glucose. Exercise enables glucose to be taken up without insulin via GLUT4 receptors. Walking after meals should reduce the post meal spike, so is protective. I have found that walking with ankle and arm weights increases my calorie burn by around 20%. I have increased muscle mass to try to burn more resting calories, as muscle uses more energy than fat. It sounds obvious but exercise helps maintain body weight, improves fitness and aids mental well being. It is far better to get diet and or fasting right rather than over train, as exercise is only circa 20% of the equation. A balance of resistance / weight and cardio is desirable, but if I had to choose a ratio I would do 70% weights 30% cardio. [/QUOTE]
