When used as an energy source by the muscles, no insulin is required to turn glucose into physical energy. The brain also uses glucose directly, using its own methods. When there is excess glucose in the bloodstream, it is turned into fat by the fat cells, & this is when the body needs insulin. In type 2 diabetes, the fat cells are usually resistant to the effects of insulin, so do not convert glucose into fat as quickly as they should, which means more insulin is required than the pancreas can easily make. This resistance can be reduced by taking metformin as well as some other drugs & also by exercising. If you eat less carbohydrates, there will be less glucose in the bloodstream. If you exercise more, there will be less glucose in the bloodstream for a period after the exercise, so regular exercise & eating fewer carbohydrates will reduce the amount of insulin needed by the body, with long term benefits for health & reduction in the progression of diabetes. You do still need *some* carbohydrates in your diet, though, or your body goes into a different, less efficient, mode for producing energy for current use, involving converting fat & protein (Either from diet or from the body's own stores) into glucose, & can cause long term health problems of its own. -- Tciao for Now!

Following link tell otherwise: "The actions of insulin on the global human metabolism level include: Control of cellular intake of certain substances, most prominently glucose in muscle and adipose tissue (about ¨ø of body cells). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin " > If you eat less carbohydrates, there will be less glucose in the > bloodstream.

What about enhancing or taking more insulin by medication programme?

Whether some stress is beneficial whereas more harmful? Though stress is related to increase in sugar levels.

And it is obvious why the body would do this, yes? It is a time when the muscles need more glucose. Also, exercise activates non-insulin mediated glucose transport pathways. These pathways are not sufficient to handle the load in the absence of insulin, but do increase the effective insulin And exercise regrows beta cells: http://www.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUSKUA78055620080307?feedType=RSS&fe edName=healthNews > > Can, basis of getting such initiation to opt physical inactivities, be > for a purpose of increasing insulin use and decreasing its quantity > enabling to avoid such down regulation and IR? > > Best wishes.

But whether excecise increases or decreases insulin's exposure to target cells?
