[Management of exercise therapy for elderly with diabetes]
Abstract
The number of elderly patients with diabetes have rapidly increased. Elderly patients with diabetes have several risks, such as fall, hypoglycemia and cardiovascular disease. On the other hand, physical activity has beneficial effects for glycemic control, cardiovascular disease, fall, cancer and quality of life. Therefore, we need to carefully treat those patients by exercise to provide more benefits, while avoiding those risks. In this review we described the methods, benefits and contra-indications of exercise and physical activity in elderly patients with diabetes.
