Strong Support

In obese adults with type 2 diabetes, a year-long program that includes eating fewer calories and 12 weeks of supervised exercise is linked to measurable improvements in blood sugar control, body fat, aerobic fitness, and healthy cholesterol levels.

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

This study found that when obese people with type 2 diabetes eat less and do supervised exercise for 12 weeks over a year, their blood sugar, body fat, fitness, and good cholesterol all get better — just like the claim says.

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.
