Is it sufficient to simply "recommend" exercise as part of type 2 diabetes treatment?
Current exercise guidelines for type 2 diabetes patients offer no recommendations regarding goals for increasing fitness levels and are identical to recommendations given to all adults. Our current knowledge as to how to optimise the effect of exercise as part of an effective treatment approach for type 2 diabetes patients is sadly lacking. It is becoming increasingly clear that an individualised approach is necessary, but the only way to develop an evidence-based individualised approach is for further large-scale, randomised controlled trials to be conducted.
