Exercise is an important management strategy for patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
Combined with diet and lifestyle changes, exercise is an essential part of all diabetes management programs. No matter what type of exercise, it helps improve glucose regulation.
If you are also at risk of type 2 diabetes, early intervention of exercise and lifestyle changes can help reduce this risk.
Whilst there are many benefits, it important that before you start exercising, make sure you have an individualised diabetes management plan, and a health check with your GP.
Our Physiotherapists or Exercise Physiologist will do a full assessment of our physical condition which includes cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, flexibility, co-ordination and balance. They will create an individualised exercise or treatment program for you whether you already have diabetes or are actively trying to prevent it.

Exercise physiology can provide many benefits for individuals with diabetes type 2. Some of the potential benefits of exercise physiology for people with diabetes include:
Regular physical activity can help improve the body's ability to use insulin, which can help keep blood sugar levels in a healthy range.
Exercise can help increase the number of calories the body burns, which can help with weight loss and weight management. This can be especially beneficial for people with diabetes, as excess weight can make it harder to control blood sugar levels.
Exercise can help improve circulation and reduce the risk of complications associated with diabetes, such as heart disease, nerve damage, and kidney disease.
Exercise can help reduce stress and improve mood, which can be especially beneficial for people with diabetes who may be dealing with the challenges of managing a chronic condition.
Regular physical activity can help improve overall health and fitness, which can lead to a better quality of life.
