THE ROLE OF REHABILITATION IN THE TREATMENT OF DIABETES MELLITUS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a global health issue with an increasing prevalence. Although effective treatments such as medication and nutrition exist, the role of physical activity remains underutilized. Rehabilitation and physical therapy play a crucial role in improving blood glucose control, preventing complications, and enhancing the quality of life for patients. Aerobic exercise, strength training, and foot care are beneficial for overall health and reducing complications. However, the participation rate in physical therapy programs is low, requiring more strategies to encourage involvement.
