Abstract :

According to WHO, 346 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes.Abnormal hemodynamic responses to exercise have been observed in diabetic subjects. With the above background, study was taken to evaluate respiratory response to submaximal exercise in type 2 diabetics using ergospirometer and compare the results with healthy control. Later to corelate the exercise response with respect to duration of diabetes Type 2 diabetes patients performed exercise on MEC PFT system till heart rate reached submaximal level (70%of max). Respiratory response recorded with following parameters– minute ventilation (VE), respiratory rate (RR) and tidal volume(TV). Abnormal respiratory response was seen in diabetics with significant rise in respiratory rate (p=0.02). Exercise intolerance is increasing with the duration of diabetes which is shown by significant increase in VE (p=<0.01) and TV(p=0.02) corresponding to their duration of diabetes. Findings of our study prove our hypothesis that there is exercise intolerance in type 2 diabetics even without cardio vascular or respiratory disease. It also shows that exercise intolerance is progressive with duration of disease.
