What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a common condition in which the body is either not producing enough of a hormone called insulin or not responding normally to insulin present. When an individual has diabetes, their blood sugar levels rise, and they become unable to regulate it. This lack of regulation can lead to several health problems, including an increased risk for developing chronic disease.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is estimated that 10.2% of Americans had diabetes as of 2018. It was also estimated that of the 34.2 million Americans estimated to have diabetes, 7.3 million were unaware of their diagnosis. This rate also disproportionately affects Native Americans and African Americans and was the seventh leading cause of death in the United States in 2017.
How Can Physical Therapy Help Diabetes?
Diabetes affects people of all ages. Because of the nature of the condition, it is common for those diagnosed to experience losses of cardiovascular fitness, increased weight, balance difficulties, and foot problems.
One way to lower high blood sugar levels is to exercise. Those seeking physical therapy to help with side effects of diabetes will be given a variety of therapeutic exercises and treatments to help relieve symptoms, as well as at-home exercises to incorporate physical activity into their daily lives. Physical therapists can help identify problems early and suggest both lifestyle and environmental changes to help relieve symptoms. By following this, you can significantly decrease your likelihood of developing complications from diabetes and decrease the risk of chronic disease.
