Excerpt from a YouTube interview where Ben Greenfield and another speaker discuss how exercise (resistance and aerobic) affects insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake. The speakers emphasize that physical activity alters insulin's effects and describe the daily micromanagement challenges faced by people with type 1 diabetes in maintaining tight glucose control.
But one of the most common and prevalent problems we have in society is obesity.
I know where you're going here. The same level of insulin is going to have a remarkably different effect. If you say exercise versus been sedentary, for example.
Absolutely, Ben.
So all the data that we've heard.
About of, oh, resistant exercise improves your insulin sensitivity.
Or, hey, aerobic exercise for.
Exhaustion, not only reduces your insulin, but maybe increases insulin independent glucose uptake, like all these things you hear about. This is the lived experience of someone with type 1 diabetes. And it's a type robot of every single day micromanaging all these variables to.
Try to keep tight.
Control in glucose. And so that is, in essence, type 1 diabetes. The lived experience of type 1 diabetes.
