Every year on 14 November, we recognise World Diabetes Day, a reminder that managing diabetes goes far beyond medication. Lifestyle changes, education, and regular physical activity play a vital role in preventing and managing the disease.
Physiotherapists are key members of the diabetes care team. Through individualised exercise programmes, mobility training, and education, physiotherapy helps:
- Improve blood sugar control
- Enhance circulation and strength
- Prevent and manage diabetic foot complications
- Support overall energy, balance, and quality of life
Whether it’s preventing Type 2 diabetes or helping those already diagnosed maintain independence, physiotherapists empower patients to take control of their health one step at a time.
Let’s keep moving towards a healthier future.
