How hard could it be, right? <\/span><\/div>\n

A new study just out in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism<\/i><\/span> 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. <\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
Just add muscle bulk. Hmmm.   <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
What Did This Study … Study?<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
A whopping 13,644 adults took part in the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III between 1988 and 1994. In this group, for every 10% increase in skeletal muscle index (SMI) — the ratio of muscle mass to total body weight — <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. there was an 11 % reduction in insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. there was a 12 % reduction in pre-diabetes<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    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: <\/span>

    <\/span>
    “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.”<\/i><\/span>

    <\/i><\/span>
