Unraveling the Therapeutic Potential of Muscle Strengthening Exercises for Reversing Diabetes Mellitus.
Current Diabetes Reviews 2024 Februrary 3
BACKGROUND: Millions of people worldwide are affected by the serious consequences of diabetes mellitus, which is a major global health concern. We analyze the possibility of muscle- strengthening activities as an appropriate therapeutic strategy for controlling the progression of diabetes mellitus in this comprehensive review. In this review, we explore the molecular processes underlying the glucose uptake in skeletal muscle, revealing how exercise can improve insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis.
METHODOLOGY: Articles published between 2010 and 2023 were analyzed in detail by using bibliographic databases like PubMed, Medline, and Scopus. The most commonly searched terms were "muscle strengthening exercises," "diabetes mellitus," "insulin resistance," "glucose uptake," "skeletal muscle," and even "exercise therapy." The inclusion criteria were randomized controlled trials, observational studies, and systematic reviews. This allowed for the selection of sources that were related to the topic at hand and were reliable.
RESULTS: This review highlights the benefits of exercise for diabetes mellitus, elucidating the positive effects of acute and regular exercise on glucose uptake in skeletal muscle. It also analyzes the impact of various exercise modalities, including aerobic and resistance exercises, on glucose metabolism in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, this review examines the effectiveness of combining aerobic and resistance training for optimal diabetes management.
CONCLUSION: Our analysis reveals promising evidence supporting the role of resistance training in diabetes mellitus reversal. Regular resistance exercise has been shown to improve glycemic control, insulin sensitivity, and muscle function in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Combining aerobic and resistance exercises appears to be more effective than single-mode training in managing blood glucose levels and enhancing overall metabolic health. However, Resistance training implementation challenges, as well as potential exercise contraindications in diabetic patients, warrant further studies.
