Episode 31: Aerobic & Resistance Exercise Help to Stabilize Blood Sugar in Type 2 Diabetics
Modes of aerobic exercise include cycling, aerobic classes, dancing, calisthenics, jumping rope, swimming, running, and walking. Resistance training comes in a variety of forms, such as using weights, elastic bands, and body weight exercises.
With either mode of exercise, there is a commonality as to each form’s ability to regulate systemic glucose (blood sugar) balance, skeletal muscle transport, and glucose metabolism.
Glucose is stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen. Glycolysis is the process in which one molecule of glucose is broken down to form two molecules of pyruvate, while glucose storage is referred to a glycogen synthesis.
Regulation of glucose balance—homeostasis—is tightly controlled to provide fasted glucose levels at
