Diabetes mellitus (DM), a metabolic syndrome consisting of two main groups, type 1 and 2, is characterized by absolute or relative insulin deficiency or insulin resistance. Individuals with DM take part in physical activity for health promotion, disease management, and or recreational or competitive sports. Several studies confirm the beneficial role of physical activity in favorably altering the prognosis of DM. Exercise as a therapeutic strategy has potential risks, too. Hence, sports medicine physicians caring for athletes with diabetes have several important responsibilities. Diabetic education; pre-participatory evaluation for vascular, neurological, retinal or joint disease; diabetic status and control; promotion of blood glucose self-monitoring; and individualized dietary, medication, and physical activity plans are essential to achieve safe and enjoyable outcomes in individuals with diabetes who are embarking on physical activity.
糖尿病（DM）是一种由1型和2型两个主要类型组成的代谢综合征，其特征是绝对或相对胰岛素缺乏或胰岛素抵抗。糖尿病患者参与体育活动以促进健康、管理疾病以及进行娱乐或竞技运动。多项研究证实体育活动在改善糖尿病预后方面具有有益作用。运动作为一种治疗策略也存在潜在风险。因此，照顾糖尿病运动员的运动医学医生有几项重要职责。糖尿病教育；对血管、神经、视网膜或关节疾病进行参与前评估；糖尿病状态及控制情况；促进血糖自我监测；以及个性化的饮食、药物和体育活动计划，对于让开始体育活动的糖尿病患者获得安全且愉快的结果至关重要。
