Adolescents and the Value of Exercise
Researchers in the US tracked the changes in a group of adolescents over a 12 week period, where exercise was introduced but no changes made to their insulin and diet regimes. The study concluded:
'...exercise training may be a valuable adjunct in managing type I diabetes providing there is concomitant attention to diet and insulin. Exercise training alone, however, does not improve glycemic control, although it improves physical fitness and insulin sensitivity.'
