Managing Type 2 Diabetes with PROmotion Health’s Expert Exercise Physiologists
Living with Type 2 Diabetes can be challenging, but with the right support, education, and tailored exercise interventions, you can take control of your health. At PROmotion Health, our accredited Exercise Physiologists specialise in metabolic services designed to help manage blood sugar levels, enhance insulin sensitivity, and improve overall metabolic health.
The Role of Exercise in Managing Type 2 Diabetes
Regular physical activity is essential for diabetes management as it:
- Improves insulin sensitivity, allowing better glucose use.
- Lowers blood sugar levels naturally, reducing medication dependence.
- Assists with weight management, crucial for diabetes control.
- Enhances cardiovascular health and overall well-being.
Despite these benefits, many struggle with consistent exercise. That’s where our Exercise Physiologists provide guidance and support.
Our Type 2 Diabetes Programme
Our structured program is tailored to your specific needs and health goals.
- Personalised Assessment & Exercise Plan
We begin with a thorough assessment of medical history, fitness level, and lifestyle to develop a safe and effective exercise plan with consideration and adaptation for any other underlying health conditions.
- Supervised Exercise Sessions
Our professionals guide you through structured sessions, incorporating aerobic, resistance, and flexibility training to optimise health benefits.
- Education & Lifestyle Coaching
Understanding how exercise affects blood sugar is key. We provide practical strategies for incorporating activity into daily life, along with guidance on nutrition and stress management.
- Ongoing Support & Progress Tracking
Diabetes management is a long-term commitment. We monitor your progress, adjust your plan as needed, and provide motivation to keep you on track.
Collaboration with Allied Health Professionals
At PROmotion Health, we take a multidisciplinary approach. Our Exercise Physiologists work closely with General Practitioners (GPs), dietitians, podiatrists, and other allied health professionals to ensure a comprehensive care plan. This collaboration helps address all aspects of diabetes management, from exercise and nutrition to foot care and overall medical supervision.
