Exercise outperforms medication in diabetes management. The largest study ever on diabetes prevention showed a lifestyle intervention with 150 minutes of weekly moderate-intensity exercise cut diabetes incidence by 39%, surpassing Metformin’s effect. A 20-year follow-up revealed a 24% reduction in diabetes incidence and a 3.5-year increase in diabetes-free survival for the exercise group, compared to 17% and 2.5 years for Metformin. This shouldn’t be surprising. Even light exercise significantly improves blood glucose control and mitochondrial function, making movement unmatched for metabolic health.
