| Abstract: | This chapter on exercise, nutrition, and diabetes is from a book written to advance physicians’ knowledge in nutrition as it relates to diabetes and to help them provide evidence-based recommendations to their patients with diabetes. The authors note that in diabetes management there is a complex interplay among physical activity, nutrition, pharmacological intervention, and genomics. In prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, physical activity is an essential component of treatment because it lowers blood glucose and reduces obesity. In type 1 diabetes, exercise can result in a complex set of metabolic derangements if careful monitoring and adjustments are not in place. Exercise plays an important role in preventing cardiovascular disease and cerebrovascular disease, both of which are major causes of morbidity and mortality in the diabetes population. The chapter discusses metabolic changes with exercise, and exercise in each of four types of diabetes: type 1, prediabetes, type 2, and gestational. 1 figure. 6 tables. 129 references. |
