Identify the guidelines for a type-2 diabetic to exercise safely and derive the most benefit
What will be an ideal response?
Aerobic exercise intensity should be moderate (40-60% of VO2max), frequency of at least 3 sessions per week, and duration of no less than 10 minutes (built up to 60 minutes) per session and 150 minutes per week (up to 420 minutes per week). Aerobic exercise mode should involve large muscle groups.
Resistance training should be 50-80%1RM intensity, 2 times (preferably 3 times) weekly, and a minimum of 1 set of 5-10 exercises. Resistance training should progress to 3 times weekly, with 4 sets of 8-10RM intensity.
Schedule your exercise 1 to 3 hours after a meal, and avoid exercise when your insulin is peaking. To prevent hypoglycemia, consume between .15 and .20 gram of carbohydrates per pound of body weight for each hour of moderate-intensity activity. Be ready to treat low blood sugar with a fast-acting source of sugar (juice, raisins, etc.)
Discontinue exercise immediately if you feel that a reaction is about to occur. When you exercise outdoors, always do so with someone who knows what to do in a diabetes-related emergency. Stay well-hydrated

An instrument used to measure glucose values has a certain range of values that it can measure. One patient's glucose value was too high, and the instrument could not read the value correctly. A patient's glucose specimen was diluted as follows: 30 mL serum was added to 70 mL diluent for a total diluted volume of 100 mL. This diluted sample was then reexamined, and its glucose value was found to be 300 mg/dL. What dilution was performed, and what glucose value should be submitted as the patient's actual glucose value?
