Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterised by high blood sugar (glucose) levels. The condition results from the body’s inadequate production of insulin or the body’s altered response to insulin, or both. Diabetes causes abnormally high glucose levels (hyperglycemia), circulatory problems, and nerve damage. Diabetes is a chronic condition affecting people of all ages and walks of life. The disease can cause a number of long-term complications, resulting in disability, reduced quality of life, and premature death. Exercise plays an important role in diabetes. Physiotherapists are experts in exercise prescription for people with chronic illnesses and are therefore able to provide advice on physical activity and promote self-management practices. Physiotherapists also assist with the management of complications associated with diabetes.

Our Services
Physiotherapy and Diabetes
Overview
Our highly skilled physiotherapists will use specific exercise programmes, manual therapy, massage and electrical devices to help treat musculoskeletal conditions which can develop with diabetes.
The best results in managing diabetes come from a combination of resistance, yoga and aerobic exercises.
Diabetic foot care is extremely important as leg and foot problems are the most common reason for diabetes-related hospitalisation. Our physiotherapists work closely with our consultants to ensure you are receiving all the appropriate care you need. Diabetics often have pain from nerve impairment. Electrical stimulation, sensory desensitization and targeted exercise help manage pain and let patients perform physical activity.
Physiotherapy treatments contribute to the prevention of the complications that can occur in diabetic patients. Those patients who are at risk can benefit from the involvement of their physiotherapist in developing the programs that support their goals. By understanding how exercise and nutrition affect blood sugar regulation, you and your physiotherapist can develop an exercise program that supports your long-term health.
