Please explain how exercise helps a person in prevention of diabetes??? what act!
Question: Exercise can lower weight and excess weight is a risk factor for diabetes (type 2) thus if a person loses weight they lower ONE risk factor.
Exercise also lowers insulin resistance. Because muscles NEED sugar to function...exercise motivates the muscle cells to take up glucose more readily. In essence exercise puts more "doors" on the muscle cells so that insulin has a higher chance of "opening a door" so that glucose can leave the blood and enter the muscle cells.

what happens is your BMI goes down, which puts you at less risk for diabetes.
that's it.
pretty simple.
Well exercise (along with a healthy diet) helps you lose weight.
Losing weight lowers your BMI and when your BMI is lowered, you have lowerd the risk of getting diabetes.
exercising helps keep body in good shape and helps blood to flow good. And when you exercise you also eat the right type of food so that is how in one way that you keep from becoming a diabete
It cannot prevent Type 1 diabetes, it can only help to prevent Type 2 diabetes. Type 1's require insulin and Type 1 is brought about by a malfunction of the pancreas.
Type 2's produce insulin, but their bodies don't use it efficientlly. Excess weight inhibits the body's ability to use the insulin efficiently - in some people. This doesn't mean that if you're skinny, you can't have Type 2 diabetes. It just means that SOMETIMES if you're very overweight and you lose the weight, your body will use the insulin that you're producing more efficiently.
While it is helpful to keep your BMI down, there's more to it than that. Exercise sensitizes your muscles to insulin- so they can take in more sugar. This lowers the concentration of sugar in your blood and prevents your pancreas from overworking itself all the time. The problem is that many overweight people live very sedentary lives... their muscles/other tissues become insensitive to insulin, their pancreas has to work harder and harder until it gives out, or just can't keep up. Hopefully you can catch it before that point... Metformin has also recently been mentioned as a method of delaying the onset of diabetes and people with impared fasting glucoses ("pre-diabetes")... and some people lose weight with it too... might be something to ask your doctor about.
Exercise can prevent *Type 2* diabetes by causing the cells to become more responsive to insulin. Type 2 diabetes is caused by the cells being resistant to the insulin that the body makes.
The *exact* mechanisms for this are not fully understood.
There is no known way to prevent Type 1 diabetes through any means.
