Can exercise really help prevent and manage type 2 diabetes? In this episode, we break down the Exercise & Sport Science Australia (ESSA) position statement on exercise prescription for type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes. We cover how much, how often, and what type of training is recommended—including aerobic, resistance, and combined approaches—and how intensity matters more than duration for improving insulin sensitivity. You’ll also learn about special considerations like hypoglycaemia, peripheral neuropathy, and how to modify training safely. Whether you’re a clinician, an exercise professional, or someone managing T2DM, this episode offers practical, evidence-based advice for using movement as medicine.
