Brief description Almost one in four Australian adults have either diabetes or impaired glucose metabolism. A major benefit of exercise is that it increases the sensitivity of muscle to insulin for many hours after the exercise is completed. We don't fully understand the mechanisms that exercise increases muscle insulin sensitivity. If we discover how nitric oxide production during exercise is involved, drugs that mimic these exercise effects may be designed to benefit those with diabetes.
