What benefits should Y.L. receive from encouragement to exercise?
What will be an ideal response?
Exercise helps control type 2 DM by improving the action of a person's naturally produced insulin
through increasing the number of insulin receptor sites. Muscle activity also improves glucose
uptake for energy and improves circulation. Other potential benefits of exercise include reduced
weight and body fat, improved strength and work capacity, improved cardiovascular function,
decreased risk for coronary artery disease (CAD) by lowering cholesterol and triglycerides and
increasing HDL, especially in the presence of weight loss, control of HTN, and improved well-being
and quality of life.
