Abstract

A test of 10 type-2 diabetic men with sedentary habits showed that blood glucose reduces an average of 40% after a 1 hour exercise program conducted 2 hours after breakfast. In contrast, the blood sugar of subjects who fasted before exercising showed only a 9% decrease in glucose in the blood.
