RT for Persons with Diabetes
Recently I've read newpaper accounts that state as many as 1 in 3 American adults may have diabetes by 2050. This would be a threefold increase. Today an estimated 24 million Americans have diabetes.
What does this say to RTs? I'm not an expert on diabetes but I would think that RTs who work in this area should step forward to take the lead in developing interventions for those with diabetes. And researchers should then test the interventions to determine their efficacy.
It seems to me that RT exercise programs for persons with diabetes could be developed and tested and the results published so that RT is seen as an option in treating diabetes. What do you think?
