Introduction: Physiotherapists may play an important part in raising the awareness of patients and society as regards type 1 diabetes (T1D) and the prevention of concomitant diseases. The objective of the paper is to assess the level of T1D education among physiotherapists versus selected factors. Material and methods: The diagnostic poll used an original questionnaire with personal questions and a test (17 single-select questions). The respondents included 103 physiotherapists from Poland, aged between 20 and 50, with 64.1% women and 35.9% men. Results: When asked about the sources of T1D education, 72 respondents (36.5%) selected websites, 71 (36%) medical literature, 36 (18.3%) university classes and 18 (9.1%) a physician. As far as the test results for the total knowledge of T1D was concerned, the knowledge level was medium for the majority (69 (67%)) of the respondents, high for 28 respondents (27.2%) and low for six respondents (5,8%). A statistically significant correlation was observed between the years of working as a physiotherapist, and the level of T1D knowledge (r = 0.196, p = 0.047). The respondents that had been on the job longer had more answers that were correct. The level of knowledge was not correlated with age (r = 0.113, p = 0.258) or sex (r = 0.142, p = 0.344) or the subjective self-assessment of knowledge of the respondents (r = -0.04, p = 0.685). Conclusions:The majority of the respondents had a moderate level of diabetes education. The level of the T1D knowledge of physiotherapists was primarily determined by their number of years on the job. Age and sex of the respondents had no impact on the level of their knowledge of diabetes (T1D).

“…According to data from 2014, 387 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes, of which 46.3% are undiagnosed; in other words, approximately 1 in 12 people suffer from the disease. This number is expected to increase by 205 million people by the year 2035 [5].…”

“…Type 1 diabetes develops rapidly, and its first symptoms, such as increased thirst, weight loss, and general fatigue, appear suddenly. No effective method of preventing type 1 diabetes exists, and the aetiology of type 1 diabetes is still not fully understood [3][4][5]. Vitamin D1 deficiency and excess body fat have been suggested as modulating factors.…”

“…Further, according to the data obtained from the Social Insurance Institution, the National Health Fund, and Statistics Poland, it was estimated that the total costs due to diabetes and related complications were at least PLN 7 billion in 2013 [9]. Evidence suggests an active lifestyle, including moderate and frequent physical activity, has a positive impact on glycaemia, better disease control, and improvement of patient quality of life [3][4][5].…”

Funds collection zebranie funduszy Summary According to the Physiotherapist Act, physioprophylaxis is an important component of physiotherapy and of the physiotherapist's professional activities. Physioprophylaxis can be oriented towards practicing healthy lifestyle behaviours, minimizing disease risk factors, or attenuating the consequences of the disease, surgery, and/or disability. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycaemia, i.e. high blood glucose levels. It is caused by the dysfunction or destruction of β cells of pancreatic islets of Langerhans, which are responsible for the production and secretion of insulin. Type 1 diabetes is most common in children and adolescents. According to the 2018 report, 6,400 children aged 0-14 years and about 180,000 people over 14 years old suffer from type 1 diabetes in Poland alone. Physical activity is an important stimulus for optimal physiological development of children and adolescents, and is an important factor in reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and mortality. Physical exercise reduces the need for insulin and increases the sensitivity of cells to insulin, so that the daily dose of insulin can be reduced. The Polish Diabetes Association recommends that children with type 1 diabetes should exercise for more than one hour a day in order to reduce the risk of vascular complications associated with the disease. The aim of this paper is to examine the effects of type 1 diabetes physioprophylaxis in children in the form of physical exercise, based on previous literature. The majority of research indicates physical activity has a positive effect on physiological function in children with type 1 diabetes, specifically reducing the risk of hypoglycaemia, high blood glucose level, insulin demand, and premature death.
