Nope, I would argue quite stronger that bad diets cause T2D and exercise hardly matters. Steven Redgrave has it, so how do you think he got it ? Just a fluke ? Or could it be all those carb and sugar laden foods he was eating whilst at the top could possibly have had some impact ?
You in our previous discussions refuse to accept that eating sugar may cause a sugar disease ? T2D is caused by too much sugar NOT too little insulin. However guess you believe you can not fix T2 ?
it is now well established that participation in regular [physical activity (PA)] improves blood glucose control and can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes, along with positively affecting lipids, blood pressure, cardiovascular events, mortality, and quality of life. Structured interventions combining PA and modest weight loss have been shown to lower type 2 diabetes risk by up to 58% in high-risk populations. Most benefits of PA on diabetes management are realized through acute and chronic improvements in insulin action, accomplished with both aerobic and resistance training.

Is it the normal recommended 60/20/20 Carbs/fat/protein ?
Because I would say it is those diets causing ALL the problems ....

My friend who had the T2 diagnosis ate a lots of salads and omelettes and things. I don't know the balance of carbs/fats/proteins. His specialist seemed to think most of his problem was lack of exercise; he got almost none before he had his diagnosis. He was prescribed an exercise program, and by the time he had worked his way up to playing football with a local side, he didn't need anything other than the occasional check of his blood sugar.

Not if the wind's blowing the wrong way. Hills have tops and other sides. 50 miles into the wind with not even a hedge in sight (OK exaggeration) will get you plenty of exercise.
Depends what is the cause of your knee pain, but in my experience cycling seems to strengthen muscles around the knees. However you will need the bike set up correctly especially regarding saddle height otherwise you may make matters worse. Sit on the saddle and put your heel on the pedal at its furthest point so your leg is straight but relaxed. This will be close to the position where your saddle height should be.Ronnel wrote:I work on a computer and tend to sit in front of it for hours a day..
This led to knee pain and I wonder if cycling may help?
Or otherwise may it have any kind of negative effect on the knees if doing it about 3-4 times a week with about 2 hours rides each time?
Thanks

Look here at my bloods taken in November, pretty damn perfect and the very imprint Trig/HDL ratio is massively low at 0.2

apparently according to some I eat awful diets !
of course exercise will help prevention for a number of reasons but say you cycled for two hours then had an energy drink during it I would argue all the real benefits are gone. Surely my way of doing fasted rides over 4-5 hours with just electrolytes in drinks (no carbs at all) is the best way ?
