To examine: Whether the statement “Lois plans to perform aerobic exercise 25 minutes daily because it will help improve insulin resistance, lower blood glucose levels, and improve her blood lipid levels” is true or false.
Introduction: Glucose in blood stream serves as a basic fuel for energy production. The complex carbohydrate we consume in form of food is broken down into glucose, which directly gets assimilated into the blood stream. The latter is followed by increased glucose level in response to which the beta cells of pancreas produce insulin, whose primary work is to supply glucose to all cells and lowers the blood glucose level. Inactivity or absence of insulin increases the glucose levels in blood, giving rise to type-2-diabetes.

- The patient is a 65-year-old male with long history of type 2 Diabetes and obesity. He does not smoke. He had knee surgery 10 years ago but otherwise has had no other major medical problem. Over the years he has tried low glycemic diet and Aerobic exercise program to reduce his weight but has not been very successful. His granddaughter just started high school and he wants to see her graduate and go on college. He understands that his diabetes puts him at high-risk for heart disease and is frustrated that he cannot lose the necessary weight. His neighbor told him about a colleague at work who had his stomach stapled (Gastric or Bariatric surgery) and as a result not only lost over 100 lbs, but also “cured” his diabetes. In addition, one family member told him about intermittent fasting and Keto diet while other relative is regularly doing High-intensity interval training (HIIT). He wants to know which among those treatments or interventions would be the best option for him.
