Topics: Medicine- via News Target
A Sydney hospital study on complex diabetic patients
-- those who on average suffer from five medical conditions and take
multiple medications -- found that 330 minutes of supervised exercise a
week dropped the patients' blood pressure
and cholesterol levels to normal levels and helped some patients stop
insulin therapy altogether. On average, other patient medications were
cut in half. Dr. Nic Kormas, from Concord Hospital, claims that the
study is a breakthrough due to the complexity of the patients'
situations.
