The benefit of exercise in the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus has a strong body of evidence. The implementation of a cardiac rehabilitation or physiotherapeutic program for appropriate counseling and exercise prescription may support the behavioral change process initiated in general practice settings. This would ostensibly improve outcomes for patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The existence of a support and education system for the self-management of diabetes mellitus based on cardiac rehabilitation teams plays a key role in this regard, so that patients and physicians achieve close coordination to attain the desired success. This article addresses the various aspects of patient-centered care through self-management education for this endocrine-metabolic disease during the COVID-19 pandemic.
