Praxis II Physical Education Exam Prep

Category - Physical Education

Exercise is generally an important part of treatment plans for people with diabetes because physical activity helps:
  1. Protect the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas.
  2. Reduce the build-up of glucose in the blood.
  3. Eliminate urinary problems associated with diabetes.
  4. Prevent diabetes-Induced changes in vision.
Explanation
Correct Response: B. Insulin is needed by the body to metabolize glucose, and high-glucose levels in type 2 diabetes occur when body cells become less responsive to insulin. Inactivity is a primary cause of this insulin resistance. With physical activity, insulin sensitivity or uptake can be improved, contributing to a reduction of blood glucose levels. Type 2 diabetes allows for sufficient production of insulin (A), but body cells have become resistant to it. Urinary and vision problems, (C) and (D), are possible symptoms of diabetes, rather than underlying causes.
