Prevention of type 2 diabetes– 3234 glucose-intolerant subjects
Knowler et al. N Engl J Med 2002; 346: 393
Exercise in type 2 diabetes: why?
Daily metformin intake = -33% T2DM incidence
Change in lifestyle = -58% T2DM incidence
Prevention of type 2 diabetes
Through exercise training only?
37-49% risk reduction

Exercise in type 2 diabetes: why?
• In 1982 it was found how blood glucose content could decrease as result of exercise
– Elevation of skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity– Richter EA, et al. J Clin Invest 1982; 69: 785-93– Richter EA, et al. Am J Physiol 1984; 246: E476-82
– Elevation of skeletal muscle glucose uptake…but also by a non-insulin dependent pathway
– Garetto LP, et al. Am J Physiol 1984; 246: E471-5
– Glucose utilisation could increase 20-fold as result of exercise

• Long-term exercise training in type 2 diabetes patients also positively affects:
– Quality of life– Physical fitness– Inflammatory markers – Cardiovascular disease risk factors
• Blood pressure, waist circumference, lipid profile
Exercise in type 2 diabetes: why?
Fear of exerciseNo exercise
Lowering in endurance capacity
Increase in fat mass
Worsening in CVD risk factors
Worse glycemic control
Further decrease in motivation to exercise
Further worsening in fat mass, exercise tolerance,CVD risk factors and glycemic control

Exercise physiology in obesity
Disturbed muscle function
Lowered fat oxidation capacity
Exercise physiology in obesity
Percentage of plasma free fatty acid (FFA) uptake oxidized during basal and exercise (50% maximum O2 consumption). *Significantly decreased in extremely obese and extremely obese subjects after weight reduction (weight-reduced) compared with
lean (P < 0.05).

Greater likelihood for development of orthopedic limitations
(knee) osteo artritis Plantar heel pain (plantar fasciitis) Carpal tunnel syndrome Rotator cuff tendinitis Low back pain
Exercise physiology in obesity
Type 2 diabetes patients show different physiological responses to exercise as
compared to healthy individuals
Type 2 diabetes patients are often overweight/obese, so typical anomalies in
exercise response which occur in the obese may be expected

Exercise in type 1 diabetes: how?
Exercise in type 1 diabetes: how?
Increased synthesis of epinephrine and growth hormone
Increased glucose release by liver
Increase the medical safety of intervention in following conditions:
• Peripheral neuropathy and/or delayed wound healing = be alert to wounds and/or peripheral sensation disturbances
• Autonomic neuropathy = be alert to deregulated blood pressure
• Cardiovascular disease = rule out coronary and/or peripheral vascular disease
• Retinopathy = no high-intensity exercises
• Nephropathy = avoid high blood pressures
ACSM & ADA. Med Sci Sports Exerc 2010; 42: 2282-303
How to maximize medical safety
How to maximize medical safety
• Orthopedic screening
– Diabetic hand syndrome
– Dupuytren contracture
– Trigger finger
– Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis
– Charcot foot
How to maximize medical safety
• Check feet
– Shoes: worn out or too narrow?
– Feet: dermatologic risk factors
Glycemic control
• Start training session• Glucose <75 mg/dl: consume monosaccharides• Glucose <100 mg/dl: be alert for hypoglycemia• Glucose >300 mg/dl: rule out keto-acidosis, no high-intensity
exercise
• Risk factors for hypoglycemia during exercise• Prolonged (>60 min), and/or intense exercise• Exercise in fasting condition?• Medication: sulfonyloreas, meglitinide, exogeneous insulin
therapy
• During follow-up• Regularly assess blood glucose content• Always carry monosacharides with you• Exercise in group
ACSM & ADA. Med Sci Sports Exerc 2010; 42: 2282-303
How to maximize medical safety
How to maximize medical safety
• Check prescribed medication
– Cardioprotective drugs
• Diuretics– Dehydration and electrolyte imbalances when dosed too high
• Beta-blockers– Lowering in exercise HR– Lowers sensation of hypoglycemia
• Lipid-lowering medication– Statins could lead to myopathies

• Prevalence of T2DM is rapidly rising• T2DM is associated with many co-morbidities• Exercise intervention is highly effective• GP’s, cardiologists and endocrinologists often
promote a healthy lifestyle to their patients• But where can these patients follow medically
safe and clinically effective exercise interventions?
