Abstract

Diabetes has become a widespread epidemic, primarily due to the increasing prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes. Although physical activity (PA) is a key element in the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes, many with this chronic disease do not become or remain regularly active. Most benefits of PA in diabetes management are conferred through acute and chronic improvements in insulin action with both aerobic and resistance training. In this paper, the benefits of physical training are discussed, along with recommendations for varying activities, PA-associated blood glucose management, diabetes prevention, gestational diabetes mellitus, and safe and effective PA practices for patients with diabetes-related complications. The inclusion of an exercise program or other means of increasing overall PA is critical for optimal health in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
