Abstract
Regular exercise may prevent or delay the development of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). In addition to moderate- to vigorous-intensity exercise, daily physical activity is also important for the prevention and management of T2D. Elderly diabetics (50-70 years) were selected from the PSG Hospitals - a multi-specialty hospital. A Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ) was developed to be locally relevant. The validity and reliability was checked before administration of the questionnaire. Data on glycemic control, energy expenditure, and physical activity (MET) were recorded. Physical activity from age 50-60 & 60-70 years were similar as indicated by the 24hr physical activity pattern and MET values. We observed a progression of the metabolic disorder with age as shown by HbA1c values Physical activity and exercise recommendations, therefore, should be tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual.
Highlights
IntroductionHealthcare professionals like medical nutrition therapists and diabetologists usually offer education, treatment, and support, but patients themselves are responsible for the daily management of their blood glucose levels
We looked at a large study on physical activity among diabetics conducted in the country to make some meaningful comparison
ICMR-INDIAB study assessed the reports on the levels of physical activity and inactivity in India using Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) [24]
Summary
Healthcare professionals like medical nutrition therapists and diabetologists usually offer education, treatment, and support, but patients themselves are responsible for the daily management of their blood glucose levels. Increasing the effectiveness of self-management support through physical activity and exercise may have a considerable impact on health care, especially for elderly people. Diabetes self-care includes a range of activities (e.g., self-monitoring of blood glucose, eating a low-saturated-fat diet, record of physical activity and checking one’s feet). Self-care is multidimensional, it is necessary to assess each component separately rather than to combine scores across components [1]. The original Summary of Diabetes SelfCare Activities (SDSCA) measure [2] assessed five aspects of the diabetes regimen: general diet, specific diet, exercise, medication taking, and blood-glucose testing. It is just that it needs to be incorporated into the daily schedule
