Introduction[edit | edit source]
Diabetes is a metabolic condition in which the body does not produce sufficient insulin to regulate blood glucose levels or where the insulin produced is unable to work effectively[1]. There are two main types of diabetes:
- Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune condition in which the cells that produce insulin are destroyed so lifelong treatment with insulin is required to prevent death.
- Type 2 diabetes accounts for at least 90% of all cases of diabetes[2]. It occurs when the body either stops producing enough insulin for its needs or becomes resistant to the effect of insulin produced. The condition is progressive requiring lifestyle management (diet and exercise) at all stages. Over time most people with type 2 diabetes will require oral drugs and or insulin. Type 2 diabetes may remain undetected for many years[3].
Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that result in energy expenditure.It includes all forms of activity, such as everyday walking or cycling to get from A to B, active play, work-related activity, active recreation (such as working out in a gym), dancing, gardening or playing active games, as well as organized and competitive sport[4]. Exercise is a subset of physical activity that is planned,structured, repeated and has a final or an intermediate objective to the improvement or maintenance of physical fitness[5]
Prevalence/Statistics[edit | edit source]
The estimated diabetes prevalence worldwide for 2011 was 366 million and it is expected to affect 552 million people by 2030[6]
.A UK based study in 2004, which studied both type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients, found that only 34% of patients took some form of physical activity within a random 2-week window[7].
