Summary

Type 2DM is present in the populations of almost all the countries in the world and is a significant disease burden in most countries .Evidences suggest that population in India develop Type 2 DM at an increasing rate as they reject their traditional life styles.

Awareness and knowledge regarding Diabetes and role of physical inactivity in producing complications is still grossly inadequate( Mohan. D, Raj.D Awareness and knowledge of Diabetes in Chennai.The Chennai urban Rural Epidemiology study(CURES-9)J Assoc. Physicians India 2005 April;53:283-7).Exercise is a low cost , non pharmacological intervention that has been shown to be effective in metabolic control. Exercise is still vastly under-utilized in the management of Type 2 DM.

Most proximal behavioral cause of insulin resistance is physical inactivity.(Michael J. LaMonte, Steven N. Blair et al.( Physical activity and Diabetes prevention J Appl Physiol. 99: 1205-1213,2005)

This study was designed to promote physical activity among type 2 DM female subjects aged 35-65 yrs attending Diabetic clinic of a tertiary care hospital in Kerala.
