Abstract
Exercise and diabetes mellitus is an important subject in itself for athletes with diabetes, their trainers and careers. We have demonstrated that blood glucose level is well tuned by glucagon and insulin during exercise. We also showed that intracellular fat accumulation could be one of the mechanisms of insulin action and short term exercise decrease intramyocellular lipid and improve insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes. Thus, it is clear that exercise induces rapid metabolic changes in skeletal muscle and liver, respectively. We are much looking forward to Sportology for the prevention and treatment of life style related diseases such as diabetes mellitus.
