90-95% of all cases.
Did you know that diabetes affects more than 463 million people worldwide, and T2DM accounts for 90-95% of all cases. Approximately 1-million Australian adults have T2DM, it is more common in Males than Females and is the fastest growing chronic condition in Australia. Diabetes can increase your risk of heart attack and stroke by 4X.

Successful management requires a conscious and committed long term focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  Exercise plays an important role in this and helps to counter the effects of T2DM by:

  • Promotes weight loss
  • Increases muscle mass
  • Increases insulin sensitivity
  • Lowers cholesterol
  • Improves cardiovascular system
  • Makes activities of daily living easier
  • Reduces all-cause mortality- the fitter you are, the lower your risk
A combination of cardiovascular and resistance-based exercise is needed to elicit the best results and research tells us that supervised exercise training for those with T2DM promotes the best results.

Our dedicated team at MEDHP can guide your through a specific T2DM exercise program to help you successfully manage your condition and improve your health and fitness.  1:1 sessions are available with our experience Exercise Physiologists, and we also run dedicated T2DM exercise classes for up to 8ppl at a time.  Medicare rebates may be available to subsidise your costs.
