iabetesmellitus leads tomacrovascular andmicrovascular complications, resulting in life-threateningconditions.
Exercise is considered an important therapeutic regimen for diabetes mellitus. Exercise in diabetic patients
promotes cardiovascular benefits by reducing cardiovascular risk and mortality, assists with weight management,
and it improves glycemic control. The increased tissue sensitivity to insulin produces a beneficial effect on glycemic
control. Maintenance of the exercise program in patients with type 2 diabetes is an important goal because it is
associated with long-term cardiovascular benefits and reduced mortality. Inter- professional team approach is crucial
for Long term compliance of patients for exercise regimen. Primary care physicians and nursing professional, diabetes
educators caring for patients play an important role in educating these patients of the importance of exercise regimen
as a therapeutic option for the disease management. There have been studies which suggested simple behavioral
counseling by clinicians and nurse educators during routine clinic visits gave encouraging results for increasing
compliance, although long-term follow-up is needed. Exercise regimens are difficult to maintain for more than 3
months due to intense nature of the programs requiring extra visits for special classes. In a 10-year study of 255
patients with diabetes enrolled in a diabetes education program emphasizing exercise, the rate of compliance fell
from 80% for 6 weeks to less than 50% for 3 months. The compliance rate further dropped to less than 20% at 1 year.
A coordinated inter professional approach with educators working with clinicians will help to maximize compliance.
