Physiological Adaptation QID 1094
A client with type 2 diabetes mellitus asks the nurse about the benefits of exercise. Which of the following is the most appropriate response by the nurse?
Explanation
Regular exercise can improve insulin sensitivity, which helps lower blood sugar levels. This is an important benefit for clients with type 2 diabetes.
While exercise is beneficial, it does not replace the need for diabetes medications if they are prescribed. Exercise has a significant impact on blood sugar control. Weight loss can be a benefit of exercise, but it is not the only reason exercise is recommended for those with diabetes.
