Physical activity/exercise and type 2 diabetes: a consensus statement from the american diabetes association. Diabetes Care. 29(6):1433-8. Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: For decades, exercise has been considered a cornerstone of diabetes management, along with diet and medication. However, high-quality evidence on the importance of exercise and fitness in diabetes was lacking until recent years. The present document summarizes the most clinically-relevant recent advances related to people with type 2 diabetes, and recommendations that follow from these. Our recently-published technical review on Physical Activity/exercise and type 2 diabetes mellitus includes greater detail on individual studies, on prevention of diabetes and on the physiology of exercise. The present statement focuses on type 2 diabetes. Issues primarily germane to type 1 diabetes will be covered in a subsequent technical review and ADA statement. The levels of evidence used are defined by the ADA in reference. |
