Publisher's Synopsis

Exercise has traditionally been recommended as an important component of diabetic treatment. In recent years, much new information has accumulated regarding the beneficial effects of exercise, which are markedly different between those with type 1 and type 2, on people with diabetes. Exercise and Sport in Diabetes provides comprehensive practical advice on:

The benefits of physical activity
The different risks between type 1 and type 2 diabetes and how to manage these
Strategies to encourage children and adolescents to participate in sports
People with diabetes undertaking competitive sporting activities
Education, support and motivation of patients

This easy–to–read volume will provide all members of the diabetes specialist team, including clinicians, nurses, psychologists and GPs, as well as sports scientists and diabetic sportsmen/women, with a concise, one–stop guide to the management of exercise and sport in diabetes. ?What is really useful about this book is the wealth of practical advice.?? ?This is an excellent book which should be on the shelves in every diabetic clinic.? Robert Tattersall, Special Professor of Metabolic Medicine, University of Nottingham, UK
