Level of physical activity in patients with type 2 diabetes

DiscussionThe findings demonstrated that approximately 70% of individuals were in the pre-contemplation and contemplation stages of change.

Given the concomitant growth in the diabetes patient population and the emphasis on the role of physical activity in preventing cardiovascular disease and diabetes-related complications, the results underscore opportunities to design and implement educational programs targeting the improvement of physical activity levels in this patient group.
