Defeating Diabetes is Easy. You just have to look like this guy.

A new study just out in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism says that more muscle = more control over your Type 2 diabetes. Not eat well … not be more active … not avoid Ho Hos and you’re intravenous Mountain Dew addiction. 

1. there was an 11 % reduction in insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes
2. there was a 12 % reduction in pre-diabetes

So … you’re saying that people can control their diabetes by adding bulky bulk. Wouldn’t it be great if the discussion of these kinds of studies started by saying something like: 


“This really doesn’t mean that much on it’s own. And no one should think that muscle bulk has anything to do with diabetes control without also controlling other lifestyle factors. And the control of diabetes symptoms may be due to any of a hundred other things that happened while our budding weight lifters were grunting away over their sweaty barbells.”
