Study Notes
Aerobic Exercise Recommendations for Type 2 Diabetes
- Aerobic exercise should be performed at least 150 minutes per week, which can be divided into sessions throughout the week.
- Sessions should generally be at least 10 minutes in duration to be considered effective.
Activities for Peripheral Neuropathy
- Patients with peripheral neuropathy should focus on low-impact activities to avoid injury, such as swimming, cycling, or using an elliptical machine.
Strength Training Guidelines
- Strength training exercises can typically be performed at 50-70% of the 1 rep maximum, allowing individuals to build strength safely and effectively.
Blood Sugar Monitoring During Exercise
- It is crucial to check blood sugar levels before, during, and after exercise to manage potential spikes or drops in glucose levels.
Effective Physical Therapy Treatments
- Exercise therapy, specifically tailored to the patient’s abilities, is considered an effective component of treatment, promoting overall health and better blood sugar control.
