In one of the exercise groups, the participants engaged in resistance training three days a week. In another, they engaged in aerobic exercise such that they burned 12 kcal/kg every week. In the third, they engaged in resistance training twice a week and burned 10 kcal/kg through aerobic exercise every week. Measurements of hemoglobic A1c, an indicator of diabetes control, improved significantly among those in the combined exercise group but not in the resistance training or aerobic exercise groups, compared with the non-exercisers. In addition, only those in the combined exercise group saw significant improvements in their maximum oxygen consumption, an indicator of overall fitness level, compared with the comparison group. Finally, both those in the combined exercise group and the resistance training group lost more body fat than those in the …

I have insulin resistance, and last time I checked my blood sugar was ok. But then right after, to kind of reward myself, I started eating more fruit. Before that I didn’t eat fruit or anything sweet at all.
