Description

Diabetes is one of Australia's most prevalent chronic health conditions, and exercise professionals are increasingly working with individuals living with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. This course provides an evidence-informed introduction to diabetes and the role of exercise in its prevention and management. Participants will develop an understanding of the prevalence and impact of diabetes, the physiological differences between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, and the benefits of physical activity for improving health outcomes.

Through practical guidance and real-world considerations, this course explores exercise prescription principles, blood glucose management, hypoglycaemia recognition and response, diabetes-related complications, and strategies for safely programming and sequencing exercise. Upon completion, exercise professionals will be better equipped to support clients living with diabetes through safe, effective and client-centred exercise interventions within their scope of practice.

Objectives

  • Describe the prevalence and impact of diabetes in Australia and explain the role of exercise professionals in supporting individuals living with diabetes.
  • Differentiate between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, including their underlying mechanisms and associated health implications.
  • Identify common diabetes-related complications and explain considerations for exercise participation and program modification.
  • Describe the benefits of exercise for individuals with diabetes, including metabolic, body composition and psychosocial outcomes.
  • Apply the Australian Physical Activity Guidelines and relevant considerations when prescribing exercise for individuals living with diabetes.
  • Recognise the signs and symptoms of hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia and implement appropriate responses in accordance with a client's diabetes care and hypoglycaemia action plans.
  • Identify safe blood glucose ranges for exercise participation and determine when exercise should be modified, postponed or avoided.
  • Apply evidence-based exercise programming principles, including exercise modality selection and sequencing strategies, to support the safe and effective management of diabetes.
