Dr Paul Lam is an internationally respected Tai Chi teacher and a family physician in Sydney, Australia. He worked with a team of Tai Chi and medical experts to design this program. Tai Chi is a very good form of exercise for anybody and I think that from the type of diabetic patient that I see, a lot of the people would quite like the gentle nature of Tai Chi and derive the benefit of exercise from it. It also helps people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes have better sugar control. In a recent study, exercise was shown to be beneficial in the prevention of type 2 diabetes. Over a five year period, there was a 50% reduction in the number of patients who developed type 2 diabetes. According to traditional Chinese medicine, enhancing life energy or Qi in the appropriate acupuncture meridian or energy channels will improve diabetes.
