I know they say to run and exercise to loose weight and get rid of Type 2 diabetes but what are advances in Type 1 since the body will never produce insulin no matter what you do?

People with diabetes (either type 1 or 2) are at a substantially increased risk risk of cardiovascular disease due to a variety of biological processes associated with hyperglycemia (i.e., high blood sugar), including but not limited to high circulating number of LDL particles, low levels of HDL-C (good cholesterol), hypertension, ischemic risk (due to poor circulation/vascular inflammation), hypercoagulation, high CRP (a marker of inflammation that independently raises your coronary risk), Lp(a) particles (an independent marker of cardiovacular risk) etc and so forth. Exercise has been shown to improve all of these risk factors.
I coach a pole vaulter with Type 1 diabetes and this past year we increased the amount of running and cardio he does. At first we noticed when he showed up to practice his blood sugar was really low even though he had not given himself any more insulin than normal and was eating the same. So I thought we may need to cut back. But then we found out he could now just give himself less insulin to maintain his blood sugar levels.
So with the increase in exercise his body actually became more insulin sensitive (a good thing) which meant he no longer needed as much insulin.
He also noted over the summer that he was running around 2 miles a day for pre-season conditioning and that he used to would wake up with a blood sugar level of around 140, and now it has dropped down to around 110.
So I think exercise helps all types of diabetes and means you will not be as dependent on large amounts of insulin.
rybelsus buy online europe can complement dietary changes aimed at improving blood sugar control, such as reducing carbohydrate intake and increasing fiber consumption.

Abstract
While being physically active bestows many health benefits on individuals
with type 1 diabetes, their overall blood glucose control is not
enhanced without an effective balance of insulin dosing and food intake
to maintain euglycemia before, during, and after exercise of all types.
At present, a number of technological advances are already available to
insulin users who desire to be physically active with optimal blood
glucose control, although a number of limitations to those devices
remain. In addition to continued improvements to existing technologies
and introduction of new ones, finding ways to integrate all of the
available data to optimize blood glucose control and performance during
and following exercise will likely involve development of “smart”
calculators, enhanced closed-loop systems that are able to use
additional inputs and learn, and social aspects that allow devices to
meet the needs of the users.
