Physical activity recommendations for patients with type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional survey.

The quality of the guidelines concerning physical activity for T2DM was found to be moderate to low and varied substantially. Recommendations regarding physical activity for T2DM are not very specific or clear and remain incompletely consistent, while the level of evidence and the strength of the recommendations were seldom reported. Our findings suggest a need for guidelines for diabetes based on high levels of evidence.
