Activity Description

Diabetes mellitus causes macrovascular and microvascular damage, resulting in life-threatening complications. Exercise is an essential therapeutic intervention for diabetes mellitus. In individuals with this condition, exercise reduces cardiovascular risk and mortality, supports weight management, and enhances glycemic control. Greater tissue sensitivity to insulin contributes to improved glycemic regulation.

Exercise is recommended for individuals with diabetes mellitus to improve glycemic control, reduce cardiovascular risk, and enhance overall fitness. However, patients with concomitant proliferative retinopathy, severe diabetic neuropathy, or symptomatic coronary artery disease should exercise with caution or under supervision. Proper implementation includes maintaining adequate hydration, monitoring blood glucose levels before and after exercise, and adjusting carbohydrate intake as needed to prevent hypoglycemia. Using appropriate footwear and selecting exercises that match an individual’s fitness level and medical condition help ensure safety and effectiveness.

This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance learners' competence in identifying patients with diabetes mellitus who have exercise indications and properly implementing exercise regimens in this population. Participants will deepen their understanding of the intervention's physiological effects, indications, contraindications, and best practices for preparation and execution. Patient education will also be emphasized. Greater proficiency will equip clinicians to collaborate more effectively within an interprofessional team caring for individuals with diabetes mellitus.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Screen patients with diabetes mellitus for exercise contraindications. 

  • Develop individualized exercise regimens for patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.

  • Implement appropriate monitoring strategies based on clinical and diagnostic evaluations to assess the effectiveness of exercise regimens for individuals with diabetes mellitus.

  • Collaborate with the interprofessional team to educate, treat, and monitor patients with diabetes mellitus to improve patient outcomes.
