Effect of Physical Activity on Neurogenesis in Peripheral Diabetic Neuropathy Type-II Diabetes

Approximately 425 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes, making it a global epidemic. Diabetes consumes 12% of the global health budget, addressing the disease and its complications. In Pakistan, the estimated prevalence of diabetes stands at 9.8%, affecting both males and females. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is a common complaint that significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Neuropathy is prevalent in 40-55% of diabetes cases, and its incidence rises with age. Additionally, exercise can promote neurogenesis and the release of beneficial factors like BDNF, contributing to improved cognitive function and mood. Aerobic exercises are recommended for managing type 2 diabetes, while resistance training can improve glycemic control and muscle health. Further research is needed to understand the effects of physical activity on neurogenesis in diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients and gender-specific influences on glucose metabolism. The study aims to enhance peripheral neurogenesis, glycemic control, and sensory functions, ultimately improving the overall quality of life for patients.
