Abstract
Diseases of civilisation, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, play an increasingly important role in shaping the occupational health management strategy. According to the guidelines of the DDG e.V. [German Diabetes Association], regular physical exercise is the basic therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this study, in a total of 110 subjects with diabetes mellitus, it was shown that a regular, intensively supervised, exercise intervention over a period of 6 months led to a significant improvement in the glucose metabolism (reduction in hemoglobin A1c). In addition, an improvement in the health-related quality of life was observed. A twice-weekly exercise intervention carried out within the framework of occupational health management [OHM] thus appears to represent a sensible therapeutic option and a sensible supplement to the treatment of this disease of civilisation.
