Relationships of Changes in Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior With Changes in Physical Fitness and Cardiometabolic Risk Profile in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes: The Italian Diabetes and Exercise Study 2 (IDES_2) - PubMed

Relationships of Changes in Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior With Changes in Physical Fitness and Cardiometabolic Risk Profile in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes: The Italian Diabetes and Exercise Study 2 (IDES_2) - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34728529/

Objective: In the Italian Diabetes and Exercise Study_2 (IDES_2), behavioral counseling promoted a sustained increase in physical activity (PA) volume (+3.3 MET h ⋅ week-1), moderate- to vigorous-intensity PA (MVPA)...



Conclusions: Even modest increments in MVPA may have a clinically meaningful impact, and reallocating SED-time to LPA may also contribute to improved outcomes, possibly by increasing total energy expenditure.

What would be your treatment step to get patient at goal?

56-year old female with type 2 diabetes, BMI of 30 kg/m2 and no major comorbidities, has been on metformin and a sulfonylurea at their highest tolerated doses. Four months ago, her previous physician added a high dose of a DPP-IV inhibitor to help get her to goal of 7%. The treatment regimen brought the A1C to 7.6%. The patient is seeking a second opinion.
