June 6, 2006 — The American Diabetes Association (ADA) developed a consensus statement with recommendations regarding exercise for patients with type 2 diabetes, and published it in the June issue of Diabetes Care.
"For decades, exercise has been considered a cornerstone of diabetes management, along with diet and medication," write Ronald J. Sigal, MD, MPH, from the University of Ottawa in Ontario, Canada, and colleagues. "However, high-quality evidence on the importance of exercise and fitness in diabetes was lacking until recent years. The present document summarizes the most clinically relevant recent advances related to people with type 2 diabetes and the recommendations that follow from these."
