Type 2 diabetes (DM2) is a very common disease worldwide and represents an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Its prevalence has increased overall in recent decades, and if action is not taken, the problem will grow with consequences for the patient, health systems and socioeconomic factors. Changes in lifestyle can prevent the development of DM2, only if the physical activity and the nutrition prescription are optimal. This review shows the main glucose uptake carrier in the skeletal muscle in order to have a better understanding of its molecular involvement, and its role in response to various stimuli, such as nutrition and physical activity. Finally, practical applications are proposed for the prescribing of physical activity in DM2.
