Exercise Reduces
Diabetes Risk
If people do regular aerobic
exercise and fail to lose weight,
they may still reap an award a
reduction in the risk of developing
diabetes.
Being obese puts people at risk
of developing diabetes, says a
nutrition researcher. Inactivity
increases that risk as does having a
family history of the disease or a
tendency to gain weight at the
waist rather than the hips.
A study at the U.S. Department
of Agriculture’s Human Nutrition
Research Center on Aging at Tufts
University in Boston, indicates
that regular exercise can help peo
ple who may risk becoming diabe
tic. After 12 weeks of exercise, 18
volunteers men and women
over age 50 reacted well to
insulin and glucose.
That finding supports other
research showing that exercise
improves people’s ability to
respond to insulin so that glucose
moves readily from the blood into
body cells, says Virginia A. Hugh
es, who headed the study at the
center funded by USDA’s Agri
cultural Research Service.
“Weight loss produces the
greatest improvement in people,”
MILK.
IT DOES A
body good:
says Hughes. “But it’s very hard
for most people to keep the weight
off."
Unfortunately, people are sel
dom diagnosed before they
become diabetic, she adds, and
many diabetics go undiagnosed.
While the volunteers were not,
diabetic, Hughes says, they had a
nine- to ten-fold higher risk of
developing diabetes at the begin
ning of the study.
She says the volunteers’ insulin
sensitivity the appropriate
response to insulin improved
an average 11 percent after exer
cising four times a week for 12
weeks. That means they cleared
11 percent more glucose from
their blood with the same amount
of insulin at the end of the study
than they did at the beginning.
“Insulin sensitivity would prob
ably continue to improve if people
maintained the exercise program,”
she says, noting that changes in
body fat were not statistically sig
nificant. “You don’t see substan
tial changes in body composition
until about one year into an exer
cise program.” (Agricultural
