Combined Exercise Regimen Reduces Diabetes Marker. Posted on Dec. 9, 2010, 6 a.m. in DiabetesExercise A number of previous studies have suggested a range of health benefits for a combined resistance and aerobic exercise program. Timothy Church, from the Pennington Biomedical Research Center (Louisiana, USA), and colleagues conducted a nine-month long study known as HART-D -- Health Benefits of Aerobic and Resistance Training in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes, which included 262 sedentary men and women with type 2 diabetes and levels of hemoglobin A1c, a marker of blood sugar, at 6.5% or higher. Through nine months, the average hemoglobin A1c level increased by 0.11% in the control group, but declined in each of the three exercise groups.

Terry Dwyer, from the Murdoch Children's Research Institute (Australia), and colleagues investigated the relationship between daily step count with both adiposity and insulin sensitivity. The team studied 592 non-diabetic adult men and women, average age 50-51 years at the study’s start, for a five-year period. Many participants were already overweight (57.4% of men, 36.9% of women) or obese (17.7% of men, 16.0% of women) at the outset and then gained further weight over the five year period.
During the study period, most subjects became more sedentary as well, with 65% showing a decline in step counts.
