Question

Indicate whether the following statements apply to type 1 or type 2 diabetes:

(c) can be managed with diet and exercise

Accepted Answer

Hello and welcome back everyone. Our next problem says true or false. Correct. The statement. If it is false, people with type two diabetes can manage blood glucose levels through a healthy diet and regular physical exercise. So recall that both type one and type type two, type two diabetes involve difficulty in regulating the amount of blood glucose glucose in the blood. But two different reasons that this happens in type one diabetes, the body starts, the body's immune system actually starts attacking the insulin producing cells and the body stops producing insulin. And while diet and exercise can help with general health, they are not going to result in insulin production. They aren't going to regenerate the cells that have been attacked. In type two diabetes, the body is producing insulin, but the person has insulin resistance and this means that the body doesn't respond properly to insulin release by reducing blood glucose. So insulin signals the body to take up glucose that's circulating in the blood into the cells. But in people with type two diabetes, the body is producing insulin but not getting that signal, not taking the action. So a healthy diet and regular physical exercise can help by actually decreasing blood glucose levels. So you actually have the effect of these levels going down. Even if you're not optimally responding to insulin, they also can actually increase the body's insulin sensitivity to return some of that ability of the body to respond to the signals being sent out by insulin production. So our answer here to whether this is a true or false statement corrected. If it's false. The answer is that this statement is true. People with type two diabetes can manage blood glucose levels through a healthy diet and regular physical exercise. And that's because they can help decrease blood glucose levels and they can increase the body's insulin sensitivity. See you in the next video.
