Abstract
Treating physicians have consistently recommended exercise to either prevent diabetes or de-escalate symptomatology. Diabetic complications, however, render physical activity undesirable or unattainable. These involve: hypothyroidism leading to substantial weight gain; perpetual fatigue due to accumulation of white adipose tissue serving as fat storage, and inadequate supply of brown fat to generate energy; accumulated toxicity causing hormonal imbalance that increases hunger; chronic pain and wounds on extremities associated with diabetic neuropathy, etc. Recent research with an effortless exercise method demonstrated enhanced fitness and T3 increase, juxtaposed by decreased inflammation, an optimal relationship between leptin and ghrelin that control appetite, and a significant decrease of visceral fat along with VLDL, the very low-density lipoprotein that carries triglycerides to the tissues. We measured the fasting and postprandial glucose and insulin of 21 diabetics and 20 prediabetics respectively, pre and post twenty treatments. Both previously abnormally high fasting and postprandial (PP) glucose decreased considerably in all 21 diabetic subjects (100%). Nine of the diabetic subjects (42.85%) manifested normal fasting glucose levels after 20 treatments, while the fasting glucose of the remaining twelve diabetic subjects (57.2%) dropped down to the prediabetic level. Ten of the diabetic subjects (47.6%) manifested normal PP insulin levels, while the PP insulin of the remaining eleven diabetic subjects (52.38%) dropped to the prediabetic level after the 20 treatments. Prediabetics had more robust results as expected by their baseline healthier status. Eighteen of prediabetics (90%) manifested both normal fasting and PP insulin levels after the 20 treatments, while the fasting and PP insulin of the remaining two subjects (10%) remained within the prediabetic level. All subjects also exhibited a statistically significant increase in muscle mass, normalized T3 levels, decreased visceral and overall fat along with reduced CRP, advocating diminished inflammation. Dyslipidaemia appeared to subside as denoted by suppressed levels of triglycerides contrasted by elevated HDL.
