Clinical Trial Summary

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most common metabolic diseases with a complex, multifactorial aetiology, and is a chronic disease with various clinical and biochemical manifestations. It has been known for a long time that T2DM treatments are medication, diet, and exercise. Exercise can improve blood glucose control, increase insulin sensitivity, respiratory capacity, well-being and cognitive functions, regulate lipid profile, blood pressure, reduce cardiovascular disease risk, abdominal obesity, weight. Although there are many studies in the literature on the effects of exercise in T2DM, there is no consensus on which exercise protocol is more effective. In the studies, the obstacles in front of the diabetic patients' adaptation to exercise; laziness, lack of motivation and energy, embarrassment from family and social environment, lack of support, timelessness, financial problems, lack of space to exercise, fear of hypoglycaemia, pain, stiffness, fatigue, shortness of breath, presence of additional diseases, fear of injury. Blue Prescription (BP) is a model developed to facilitate the continuous participation in physical activity. In traditional home programs, patients are told what to do. The BP approach, on the other hand, involves providing the person with options for physical activity, removing the barriers to activity instead of the classical home exercise program or physical activity counselling, and being in communication with the way the person wants during this process. This approach has been developed to facilitate participation in physical activity and to ensure the sustainability of physical activity in individuals with chronic diseases. Philosophy of the approach aims to increase the activity level gradually, improve the quality of life and continuous participation in the activity with motivational interview, continuous support, communication and activity diary, instead of recommending physical activity with classical methods due to the different needs, desires and tastes of people. Studies using the BP in the literature have focused on Multiple Sclerosis and stroke, and no publications on other chronic diseases have been found. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of BP, video-based home exercise and supervised group exercises on HbA1c, physical activity level, functional capacity and other metabolic control variables in primary care women with T2DM.
