Abstract

Introduction: An integral part of modern healthcare is resort medicine, which should be a continuation of hospital or outpatient treatment. The paper discusses the impact of comprehensive sanatorium rehabilitation on the maintenance of blood pressure, glycaemia and BMI among diabetic patients on a 21-day resort stay in Nałęczów. In addition, the work includes, among others, the latest diabetes control criteria recommended by the Polish Diabetes Association. Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the impact of health resort treatment on diabetes control parameters in the male and female population during 21-day sanatorium stays. Material and Methods: The study group consisted of 152 patients (76 men, 50.00%) with type 2 diabetes mellitus with an average age of 67.45 ± 7.124 years on 21-day spa stays. The study method was a retrospective and comparative assessment of patients’ results in two subgroups. The frequency of physical activity, smoking, the presence of comorbidities, the model of their treatment, and the percentage of balneological and physical procedures ordered were analyzed. Results: The results of our own research show both a decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as fasting blood glucose and 2 hours after a meal in both study groups. The studies also showed weight reduction, which, combined with a proper diet and regular physical activity, is the beginning of a healthy lifestyle after returning from a sanatorium.
