The client who is managing diabetes through diet and insulin control asks the nurse why exercise is important. Which is the best response by the nurse to support adding exercise to the daily routine?
A) Increases ability for glucose to get into the cell and lowers blood sugar
B) Creates an overall feeling of well-being and lowers risk of depression
C) Decreases need for pancreas to produce more cells
D) Decreases risk of developing insulin resistance and hyperglycemia
A
Feedback:
Exercise increases transmembrane glucose transporter levels in the skeletal muscles. This allows the glucose to leave the blood and enter into the cells where it can be used as fuel. Exercise can provide an overall feeling of well-being but is not the primary purpose of including in the daily routine of diabetic clients. Exercise does not stimulate the pancreas to produce more cells. Exercise can promote weight loss and decrease risk of insulin resistance but not the primary reason for adding to daily routine.
