The current available epidemiologic evidence supports a substantial benefit from maintaining a physically active, as compared to a sedentary life-style. Clinician counseling and prescription of regular physical activity should represent a major goal in the treatment and primary prevention of diabetes. This responsibility is of paramount importance, particularly in light of the high prevalence of physical inactivity (based on national survey data, 56% of men and 61% of women in the United States either never or irregularly engage in physical activity), and the high incidence of diabetes and its complications, including severe atherosclerotic disease, in the United States and throughout the world.
目前可得的流行病学证据表明，与久坐不动的生活方式相比，保持身体活跃能带来显著益处。临床医生对规律体育活动的咨询和处方应成为糖尿病治疗和一级预防的主要目标。这一责任至关重要，尤其是考虑到身体活动不足的高发生率（根据全国调查数据，美国56%的男性和61%的女性从不或不定期进行体育活动），以及糖尿病及其并发症（包括严重动脉粥样硬化疾病）在美国乃至全球的高发病率。
