Is insulin the only viable option? The role of physical therapy in type 1 and 2 diabetes
Journal Title: Fizjoterapia Polska - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
Diabetes is a fast becoming one of the most challenging health concerns in the 21st century. Chronic hyperglycemia is the underlying cause of frequent complications such as micro- and macroangiopathy, neuropathy and diabetic foot syndrome. First-line therapy for diabetes includes blood glucose regulation, weight control, self-management, and physical activity. The aim of this article is to highlight the often forgotten fact, that physical therapy forms an integral part of any successful diabetes treatment program. Here, we discuss the recommended guidelines for the use of physical therapy in the treatment of diabetes and diabetes-associated impairments. We examine the benefits and risks associated with this therapy and also evaluate applied kinesiology as potential new treatment.
