As one of the fastest growing diseases, Diabetes Mellitus has affected millions of people around the world and is projected to continue doing so at an alarming rate in the coming years. The management of this disease is crucial for quality-of-life care as well as alleviation and reduction of symptoms. Many forms of management exist and often work in conjunction with one another, such as pharmacological and nutrition-based options. Furthermore, exercise is frequently recommended in case of both type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
Exercise has been shown to improve such symptoms and physiological outcomes of diabetes as hyperglycemia, insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, and oxygen uptake. More research is needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms and physiological changes that occur when exercise in its many forms is used as a means of management for diabetes and prediabetes.
This Research Topic aims to compile research focusing on the use of exercise in managing Type 1 and/or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Exercise should be the primary focus; however, it can be considered in conjunction with other forms of management (E.g., Exercise and specific pharmacological treatments, Exercise and technology, etc.). We welcome original research, review, and mini review articles.
