Is this utterly preposterous or am I missing something? Exercise increases

insulin sensitivity, so, while you are technically decreasing your need for

insulin, obviously the corollary of that is that you'll produce less insulin.

Furthermore, exercise stimulates adrenalin, which has the opposite effect of

insulin on fat cells (adrenalin induces lipolysis).
