I work out as long as three hours about twice a week and 1.5 to 2 hours three times per week. As a type 1 diabetic I hve experimented with insulin dosages and exercise. When I know I am going to exercise three hours, I only take about 1/2 of a unit of insulin lispro and eat some carbs for energy. I usually end up with ...blood sugars of 75-85 usually. My theory is when I burn up fatty acids in the later part of exercise I need far less insulin. Had I not exercised and ate no carbs I would have needed about three units of insulin. This animation will explain http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072507470/student_view0/chapter25/animation__energy_sources_for_prolonged_exercise.html
Also, a lot of people blame others and blame theory is under this link http://www.mvesc.k12.oh.us/psychology/PsychBulletins/11_90.htm
. Consequently, I say everyone is responsible for their own health but educations is quite beneficial.

The health benefit that is most important to me is that it helps decrease my joint pain that I suffer from Lupus. I know other people with Lupus who don't exercise because it is too painful but if they can get through the initial pain it gets easier and decreases the pain throughout the day so you can be more active with your family.
