A recent Colorado School of Medicine study indicates that people with type-II diabetes may prevent cardiovascular aging with exercise. Studies have shown that the health of patients with type-II diabetes declines at a faster rate than those without the disease. However, according to this study, exercise may be the solution to preventing the decline in health.
Type-II diabetes is the more common form of diabetes.?For patients with the condition, either their body doesn?t produce enough insulin or their cells ignore the insulin ? which is necessary to break down glucose for energy.?Approximately 26 million people in the United States are diagnosed with diabetes and around 79 million people are estimated to have prediabetes. Unlike other forms of diabetes, type-II diabetes is preventable.
A healthy lifestyle can prevent diabetes, but it can also prevent aging for those who already suffer from the condition. Exercise can help control blood sugar levels and lead to weight loss, which can be very beneficial since?increased body fat makes it harder for the body to use insulin the correct way. However,?for people who are 50 or older,?fitness levels naturally decline over time. This reduction is more pronounced for people with diabetes.
According to the study,?the premature aging caused may be prevented with exercise. Although?exercise alone would not allow patients to reach the same fitness levels of diabetes-free people, patients could use consistent exercise (2.5 hours per week) to?increase their fitness levels by nearly 50 percent over the course of three to five months. This increase is enough to delay the rate that the cardiovascular systems age and could prevent the early onset of heart conditions and even death.
As conditions worsen for patients suffering from type-II diabetes, typically their activity levels decrease as well. It is important to maintain a moderate level of activity, especially since?exercise may benefit diabetic patients far more ever expected before.?The researchers behind the study are encouraging patients with type-II diabetes to get active and start exercising as soon as possible to reduce the impact of the condition on their health.
