Abstract Recent trends in T2D show an alarming increase in prevalence among young adults primarily because of obesity due to lifestyle choices. Obesity gives rise to insulin resistance which results in persistent high blood glucose level. The purpose of this experiment is to find out how blood glucose level can be stabilized with aerobic exercise and choice of carbohydrate, thus contributing to glucose-insulin homeostasis in T2D.
