Abstract

Background: Sociocultural shifts have resulted in sedentary, aging population. Type 2 diabetes is reaching epidemic proportions. Older adults with type 2 diabetes generally do not follow an exercise program. Exercise is key therapy for type 2 diabetes. Current heatlh behavior change models lack explanation for behavior maintenance. Thirteen interviews with older adults with type 2 diabetes who had been successful at maintaining an exercise program for at least six months results in the six-stage theory of progressive self-curing.
