Industry Presented Webinar: The Role of Physical Activity in Type 2 Diabetes Management and Prevention

This presentation will cover the main evidence supporting its role in diabetes management and prevention, along with covering the most important activities for adults with type 2 diabetes to undertake.

Learning Objectives:  

• To understand the independent and combined effects of physical activity and exercise in the management of type 2 diabetes and its prevention
• To review the most recent evidence on the effects of physical activity in people with type 2 diabetes and which ones are most important to undertake regularly
• To deepen the understanding of any potential interactions between activity and diabetes medications
