| Note(s): | Individuals with type 2 diabetes are often unaware that physical activity can improve glucose utilization and thereby decrease blood sugar. The author investigated a 16 week walking intervention on Type 2 diabetics and the impact this exercise has on HbA1c levels, weight loss and exercise levels. Two men and seven women (n = 9 ) participated in the program. Results indicated significance increase in physical activity levels (t = 11.08 p = .001) and increased weight loss ( t = 12.5 p = .001) but no significance difference for HbA1c ( t = 1.4 p=1.08). Implications include the benefits of walking on other health outcomes and the need for long term commitments to exercise because some outcomes such as HbA1c may take longer to show improvement. | |
