...three exercise groups, data suggested that working out could improve blood pressure, triglyceride and cholesterol levels in people with diabetes; however, there was no significant difference in the changes among the groups. Exercising also led to modest weight loss - even though patients were put on diets specifically designed to maintain weight - and a reduction in belly fat. What's more, CT scans of patients' muscles suggested that exercise could improve their internal structure and function.
