Study Notes
Type 2 Diabetes
- Type 2 diabetes is marked by a combination of resistance to insulin's action and relative insulin deficiency caused by beta-cell dysfunction.
Monogenic Diabetes Syndromes
- Monogenic diabetes syndromes account for approximately 1-2% of all diabetes cases and are caused by single gene defects leading to beta-cell dysfunction.
Physical Activity and Type 2 Diabetes Risk
- Walking for at least 2.5 hours per week is linked to a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes compared to minimal walking.
- This association is independent of body mass index.
- Increased levels of neighbourhood walkability and green spaces are associated with lower diabetes risk.
Foot Health and Physical Activity
- Early identification and intervention for musculoskeletal foot and ankle problems can improve physical activity participation for individuals with diabetes.
- Individuals with diabetes and a history of foot ulcers exhibit lower activity levels than similar control participants.
