One-year caloric restriction and 12-week exercise training intervention in obese adults with type 2 diabetes: emphasis on metabolic control and resting metabolic rate

Randomized Controlled Trial
Human
2019 Dec

When obese people with diabetes lost weight through diet and exercise, their bodies burned calories differently at rest—and this change was linked to better blood sugar, lower cholesterol, and improved fitness. So yes, how their metabolism changed helped them get healthier.

Similar Assertions

In obese adults with type 2 diabetes, losing weight through diet and exercise improves blood sugar control, reduces body fat, and increases aerobic fitness, and these improvements continue for at least one year after the program ends.

In obese adults with type 2 diabetes, burning more calories through physical activity is linked to larger decreases in body weight, body fat, and blood sugar levels.

In young adults, including those who are lean, mildly obese, or have well-controlled type 1 diabetes, fitness level (measured by oxygen use) is linked to how well their body handles sugar and blood flow in muscles, but it doesn’t add extra predictive power once other factors are considered.
