A recent report from the Public Health of England showed that men with waistbands of more than 40” and women with waistbands larger than 35” have a very high risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
As physiotherapists we should talk to our patients about changes and increased physical activity which can reduce the chance of developing type 2 diabetes and avoid the associated morbidities.
