Is it true that you won't get diabetes if you keep exercising?

It's definitely less likely that you'll get diabetes if you exercise consistently, and if you get diabetes you have to exercise consistently

Another fitness instructor was hospitalized in our department the other day, fit and with high blood sugar, and was indignant since, "I work out every day and keep exercising, why do I get diabetes too?"

Yeah, how can you get diabetes if you keep exercising?

The benefits of exercise are obvious, especially for diabetics, it promotes glucose utilization by peripheral tissues, improves cardiorespiratory fitness, lowers body weight, and reduces insulin resistance, each of which contributes to lowering blood glucose, so what's the likelihood of this trainer developing diabetes?

Asked carefully about his family history, her sister also had high blood sugar and he had had pancreatitis. Because they have familial hyperlipidemia.

There may be reasons for high blood sugar even with consistent exercise:

1. People with diabetes in their immediate family have a higher chance of developing diabetes. For people who have a family history of diabetes, even if they maintain a good lifestyle, they may not be able to avoid the emergence of diabetes. In the clinic, we sometimes see such aggrieved people, which is almost the chance of winning the lottery, and can only be said to be too good (bad) luck, which really can not be helped.2. If you have ever suffered from pancreatitis, because the islet B cells are present on the pancreas, the excessive secretion of pancreatic juice caused by pancreatitis, digesting its own pancreatic cells, destroying the exocrine glands while also destroying the endocrine glands, resulting in the function of the alpha and beta cells of the endocrine glands being affected so that the cells produce less insulin, and then the blood glucose will rise. Diabetes resulting from this condition is generally referred to as secondary diabetes. However, in conjunction with this patient's family history, the possibility of type 2 diabetes cannot be ruled out.

3. Patients may already have abnormalities of glucose metabolism and a tendency to develop diabetes before adhering to exercise. Starting to exercise at a certain time, this can delay the emergence of diabetes, but not necessarily able to reverse diabetes. After a period of time, the insulin produced by the pancreas cannot meet the needs of the body, blood sugar rises, and diabetes occurs.

In summary: adhere to the exercise can not avoid the possibility of diabetes, but, adhere to the exercise will certainly make your blood sugar drop, can use less drugs can also keep blood sugar in a more stable range, can reduce the appearance of diabetes various chronic complications. It can improve cardiorespiratory function and keep you in better shape in your old age. So it's worth it to keep exercising.

Exercise is not "definitely not" diabetes, but "not definitely" diabetes.

Diabetes, after all, is caused by a combination of a genetic basis and acquired environment, with one parent suffering from diabetes mellitus (DM), and the children suffering from 2% to 5% type 1 DM and 5% to 10% type 2 DM.

Exercise has many benefits in the acquired environment: weight loss effect, improvement of metabolism, enhancement of cardiorespiratory fitness, sculpting effect and elimination of fatigue to improve mood.

In particular, the weight loss and improved metabolism are very beneficial in preventing diabetes:

1. In particular, the most important risk factor for type 2 DM is obesity. Exercise increases blood flow to the skeletal muscles and increases muscle mass increasing muscle strength and increasing resting metabolic levels. At the same time, exercise directly consumes energy. Exercise is a basic measure for weight loss and also has the significance of preventing rebound.

2. Exercise increases the affinity for insulin and its receptors and may also increase the number of insulin receptors and improve insulin sensitivity. Insulin promotes the oxidative metabolism of glucose and the synthesis of hepatic glycogen and myoglycogen. Exercise also promotes the oxidation of fatty acids, which not only lowers blood lipids but also improves insulin sensitivity.

Of course, in addition to adhering to exercise, it is also important to pay attention to healthy eating habits. China has long launched the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents", which is to provide reference for the health of residents.

Diabetes mellitus is a series of metabolic disorder syndromes of sugar, protein, fat, water and electrolytes triggered by genetic factors, immune dysfunction, microbial infections and their toxins, poor lifestyle, psychiatric factors and other causative factors acting on the organism, resulting in decreased pancreatic islet function. The condition can be effectively controlled through a combination of exercise, diet, and medication, therefore, exercise alone is only controlling one aspect to reduce the occurrence of diabetes.
