Diabetes and Other Metabolic Conditions

Over 1.3 million Australians are living with diabetes, with many more affected by insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome. These conditions can lead to fatigue, weight gain and long-term complications such as nerve damage or cardiovascular disease—yet many of these risks can be managed or reduced with the right movement plan.

Chronic conditions like Type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome are closely linked to physical inactivity. Regular exercise helps lower blood glucose levels, improve insulin sensitivity and reduce cardiovascular risk.

Exercise Physiology offers structured programs that safely improve aerobic capacity and muscle strength—key components in diabetes management. Sessions may also assist with weight control, blood pressure regulation and cholesterol balance.
