A study found that exercise helped to keep blood sugar levels in check. The benefits of exercise in controlling blood sugar in people with diabetes are well-known and they are recommended, along with dietary change, to delay the onset of diabetes.

People whose pedometers showed an increase in steps overtime had better insulin sensitivity at the end of the study. That's a good sign for anyone who wants to avoid and prevent diabetes, because insulin helps your body use blood sugar.
