Reference no: EM133705711

Question: Patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus who are overweight and can safely exercise are encouraged to increase physical activity in order to promote weight loss (American Diabetes Association, 2021). Physical activity improves blood glucose control in Type 2 diabetes, reduces cardiovascular risk factors, contributes to weight loss, and improves well-being (Colberg et al., 2017). Another recommendation that focuses on lifestyle modification is the application of a Mediterranean style or DASH eating pattern; reduction of saturated fat and trans-fat; increase of dietary n-3 fatty acids, fiber, and plant stanols to improve lipid profile (American Diabetes Association, 2021).
