Moderate to vigorous physical activity reduces the likelihood of micro- and macrovascular events by 15–22% in type 2 diabetic patients at increased cardiovascular risk.
For diabetics with heart risks, moving at a moderate to vigorous pace significantly lowers the chance of heart and blood vessel damage. Aim for activity that raises your heart rate, not just light movement.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
among type 2 diabetic patients at increased cardiovascular risk, those engaging in moderate to vigorous physical activity had 15–22% reductions in likelihood of micro- and macrovascular events.
Why this rating
Cites observational studies (Ref 8) showing significant risk reduction; higher quality than single small RCTs but not a meta-analysis of RCTs.
