It has been shown in many studies that physical exercise improves insulin sensitivity. The mechanism of exercise on improving insulin sensitivity is not well understood however it is thought that exercise causes the glucose receptor GLUT4 to translocate to the membrane. As more GLUT4 receptors are present on the membrane more glucose is taken up into cells decreasing blood glucose levels which then causes decreased insulin secretion and some alleviation of hyperinsulinemia. Another proposed mechanism of improved insulin sensitivity by exercise is through AMPK activity. The beneficial effect of exercise on hyperinsulinemia was shown in a study in 2009, where they found that improving fitness through exercise significantly decreases blood insulin concentrations.

'''It is also known that reducing carbohydrate intake aids with treating the sensitivity to insulin. A diet that consists of high amounts of carbs have been linked to weight gain and obesity in rodents. although this has not been tested in humans, it is assumed that it could aid with the prevention of weight gain in humans, and possibly obesity. Medications have also been studied to treat Hyperinsulinemia, although these might have some side effects, it could be a good alternative. '''
