Diabetes mellitus and physical activity. 1982

S Maehlum, and K Dahl-Jørgensen, and H D Meen

Fat and carbohydrate metabolism in diabetic patients during exercise is described and compared with the metabolism of healthy individuals. In well-regulated insulin-treated diabetics, fat and carbohydrate metabolism does not differ greatly from that of healthy individuals. It is therefore concluded that well-regulated diabetics can actively participate in all degrees of exercise, including highly competitive sports, when diet and insulin dosages are adequately adjusted. The effect of exercise on diabetes control is discussed, and it is concluded that there is not existing evidence that exercise delays or prevents the development of diabetic angiopathy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).
