Thank you for a great article! If pyruvate could be an early diagnosis for risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes then what level could it be an indication for that risk? And could type 2 diabetes be reversed with exercise only?
What level is hard to say, and measuring lactate rather than pyruvate is probably an easier indicator! I think that T2D can be reversed and certainly helped with exercise only, though diet modification is also encouraged!

I love that you've claimed the term "exercist" and revised it's meaning!
I claim it but admit that it’s not my term! Dr. Daniel Lieberman was the one who coined it.
Thanks for reminding me that I really need to read "Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do Is Healthy and Rewarding" !!!
Fantastic! More proof that exercise is the ultimate medicine.
For the record, I always thought that sedentary meant “unhealthy,” because how could it not?
And. If you aren’t exercising and fit, you’d last minutes during an emergency, let alone a zombie apocalypse.
Training to survive the zombie apocalypse is really the only reason I exercise!
