REF, T2D physically active, treated and controlled * compared to referent p > 0.05 Brown RE, et al. J Diabetes Complications. 2014 May-Jun;28(3):311-5. Adults with T2D who are physically active, pharmacologically treated, and obtain glycemic control may attain similar mortality risk as normoglycemic adults.
Physical Activity To improve glycemic control, assist with weight maintenance, and reduce risk of CVD, at least 150 min/wk of moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity per week, spread over at least 3 days/w, no more than 2 consecutive days without activities. Shorter durations (minimum 75 min/w) of vigorous interval training for younger and more fit individuals Should engage in 2-3 sessions /W of resistance exercise on nonconsecutive days; with each session consisting of at least one set of five or more different resistance exercises involving large muscle Prolonged sitting should be interrupted every 30 minuets for blood glucose benefit, in patients with T2DM Flexibility training and balance training recommended 2-3 times/w for older adults with diabetes. Yoga and tai chi may be included based on personal preferences ADA Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes, 2017 2015 당뇨병진료지침

Effect of moderate-intensity exercise vs. activities of daily living on 24-hr blood glucose homeostasis 20 males with T2DM in a randomized 3-day cross-over study Conclusions: When matched for total duration, moderate-intensity endurance-type exercise represents a more effective strategy to improve daily blood glucose homeostasis than repeated bouts of activity of daily living van Dijk JW et al.

Cautions according to complications Retinopathy : PDR or severe NPDR vigorous aerobic or resistance exercise CIx Peripheral neuropathy : Thorough assessment needed; moderate walking not CIx Autonomic neuropathy : increased risk of exercise-induced injury or adverse events; should undergo cardiac investigation before beginning physical activity Diabetic kidney disease: No evidence of vigorous intensity exercise increase the rate of progression of DKD, no need for specific exercise restrictions for DKD patients 24 24 ADA Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes, 2017 2015 당뇨병진료지침
Exercise in patients with diabetes Exercise strongly reduce the prevalence of hyperglycemia throughout the day If well-controlled patients are active, they will have similar risk for CVD and mortality to normoglycemic patients Resistance and endurance type exercise are equally effective in improving daily blood glucose homeostasis When total work is being matched, daily exercise does not further improve glycemic control, when compared to exercise performed every other day When matched for duration, exercise is more effective than more habitual physical activity to improve glycemic control 25 25

Step 1: Increasing physical activity!
Any movement (or force) Physical activity exerted with skeletal muscle that leads to an increase in energy expenditure above rest Exercise Subcomponent of physical activity that is planned, repetitive or structured
My work is laborious; this is exercise Household chores are very laborious; this is exercise
Move and move!! 120kcal /day = 5kg/year dish washer-> self wash Elevator -> stairs Car -> walk Elevator Stairs (Lanningham et al 2003)
Calori loss in each activity Sitting Staning Chewing gum Moving Climbing stairs Walking 1.6km/h Walking 3.2km/h Walking 4.8km/h (Levine 2004)
Change the life style! 1. Walk to places in short distance 2. Walk as fast as possible 3. Use stairs instead of escalator 4. Stretching as often as possible 5. Park your car as far as possible from the desination 6. Do not use remote control when changing the TV channel
Step 2 : Regular exercise
Assess the cardiorespiratory function 1, consult your doctor before starting exercise Question Have you been told to consult your doctor before starting exercise due to your heart problem? Have you felt chest pain when exercising? Have you felt chest pain when resting during the last few months? Have you lost your balance due to fainting or dizziness? Do you have any problem in bone or joint? Are you taking any medications for hypertension or heart disease? Do you have any reason for being unable to exercise? Yes or no American Sports Medicine
Need for exercise tolerance test Exercise tolerance test Age>35 years Known or suspicious CAD Disease duration of Type 1 diabetes 15 years Disease duration of Type 2 diabetes 10 years Microvascular, macrovascular disease Autonomic neuropathy
Planning exercise Choose the type of exercise (Disease, preference, etc..) Consume 700kcal~2000kcal of calories every week At least 3 times every week
What kind of exercise?
How long? 150 minutes per week ( 700kcal) 3 times/ wk 50 minutes 4 times/ wk 40 minutes 5 times/ wk 30 minutes Consider individual fitness! At least 10 minutes * 3 times or 30 minutes at once
Intensity [(Maximal HR-Resting HR) * 0.5~0.75] +Resting HR Maximal HR = 220-Age Resting HR = HR / minute Cannot be used in patients with automic neuropathy, CVD
Intensity Effects minimal Talking to each other possible while walking Danger for trauma, aggravation of disease Intensity Very light Light Slightly difficult Difficult Very difficult
Before and after exercise Stretching For 5-10 minutes Sustain for 8~10 sec, 3 sets Maintain the respitation
Resistance exercise Shoulder, waist, chest, abdomen and leg From large muscle to small muscle (chest - >arm) 8~12 times for 2~3 sets Resting time between the sets for 30 sec~1 min Sustaining respiration is important
Arm muscle exercise
Shoulder muscle exercise
Abdomen exercise
Thigh muscle exercise
Calf muscle exercise
Summary Exercise is an important component of diabetes education For patients with diabetes, exercise is not optional, but essential part of treatment Educators should be familiar with exercise themselves Any exercise that fits the patient is the best exercise for him or her Being repetitive and regular is important than what exercise you are doing Tell the patient they have to exercise to improve their health, not just for glucose control 63 63
