Managing Diabetes Through Targeted Exercise
Exercise plays a critical role in diabetes management and the prevention of type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is a condition characterized by the body’s inability to manage blood sugar levels properly. The body either does not produce enough insulin or does not respond normally to insulin, causing glucose levels in the blood to become too high. Physical therapists can help diabetic patients improve their physical fitness and engage in exercise safely through a targeted exercise program.
