It would be good to give some examples of what they mean, or of what was used in the studies. Else it's asking us to pass the buck to 'professionals' rather than work it out for ourselves.

elevated blood glucose damages blood vessels-especially those in heart muscle, tiny vessels in Retina and kidneys...This is why uncontrolled blood glucose CAUSES hypertension, heart attack, blindness and kidney failure.
Exercise does not heal the cause of diabetes but by reducing the sugar in your blood the damage to the body is reduced.
Diabetes IS NOT reversed , but it can be " controlled' by some diets...

Interesting.
I am 74 years old, 5ft 4" tall and have had both my knee joints. My BMI, sadly is still in the "Overweight" area.
The only advice I received was 'Get regular exercise.........Now, every other day, irrespective of the weather, I walk about 4miles. As a Buddhist I eat only one main meal per day and tend to opt for high carb meals on my exercise days, because the exercise helps to keep my reading well within the 8.5mmol/L
limit 2 hours after the meal.
Bread is bad for Blood Glucose levels but I'm trying to find a way round the problem because my Thai wife loves baking bread.
My walking tends to be brisk and I raise quite a sweat. I'd be interested to know whether exercise immediately after eating (my practice) is the best or, for example shorter distances every day without regard to meal time. Per week I certainly exceed the 150minutes......it's more like 5 hours per week

Diabetes IS being reversed with a specialized diet that heals the body from food chemicals. Diabetes is not just about lowering blood sugar. Exercise does not heal the “cause'” of diabetes
This is why diabetes medications cause heart attacks. They heal nothing and rip the heart muscle
A filmmaker has been reversing diabetes in now 10 countries just with his diet used by over 20,000 people in the UK
just google SPIRIT HAPPY DIET

Companies do give out samples. They are looking to put their products in potential consumers' hands. They wouldn't do it if it didn't work one of the place that always worked is "123 Get Samples" search online
