Weight loss, diet, and exercise can reduce the risk of pre-diabetes. Inactive adults who add a few hours of exercise each week may cut their risk of developing a pre-diabetic condition known as insulin resistance syndrome and may help with weight loss goals. As the population is eating more and exercising less, increasing numbers of adults and children are developing the syndrome, which results when a person loses the ability to use insulin effectively. The syndrome can develop into type 2 diabetes and increase the risk of heart disease if left untreated. To investigate whether physical activity influences the risk of insulin resistance syndrome, researchers followed 18 sedentary men and women for six months. Participants exercised by walking for 30 minutes between three and seven days a week and were told not to change their diets or body weights. At the end of the study, researchers examined insulin sensitivity and levels of blood fats, such as cholesterol. It was found that exercise with no weight loss increased insulin sensitivity. According to researchers, even modest amounts of exercise, without weight loss or loss of abdominal fat, can improve indicators of glucose and fat metabolism among inactive, middle-aged adults, a group that is particularly at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
