What is it about?
This study investigates the impact of regular exercise on insulin sensitivity and cardiovascular risk factors in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Through a systematic review of 16 articles, it was found that regular exercise can improve glycemic control by reducing insulin resistance and lowering cardiovascular risks such as blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Both aerobic and resistance exercises were shown to be effective in enhancing insulin sensitivity and overall health in type 2 diabetes patients.

Why is it important?
This research provides valuable insights into the benefits of exercise for individuals with type 2 diabetes, a prevalent chronic condition globally. With diabetes rates on the rise, particularly in countries like Indonesia, where the prevalence is high, understanding effective interventions like exercise is crucial. By highlighting the positive impact of regular exercise on glycemic control and cardiovascular health, this study contributes to the development of evidence-based recommendations for managing type 2 diabetes.
Perspectives
As someone passionate about promoting health and well-being, especially in the context of chronic diseases like diabetes, this study's findings resonate with me. Exercise is a fundamental aspect of diabetes management, and this research reinforces its importance in improving insulin sensitivity and reducing cardiovascular risks in type 2 diabetes patients. By emphasizing the effectiveness of various exercise modalities, including aerobic and resistance training, this study offers practical insights for healthcare professionals and individuals with diabetes seeking to optimize their health outcomes. I believe that disseminating this knowledge can empower individuals with type 2 diabetes to take proactive steps towards better managing their condition and improving their overall quality of life.
