Abstract
Research has established the global effects of the chronic disease on the body, as well as how the individual may be affected by the strict diabetes regimen. Relevant insight on nutrition, exercise response, self-efficacy, adherence, and the psychosocial aspects of living with Type I Diabetes have been documented. A patient case report details the rehabilitation process of a patient with Type I Diabetes, following Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction. The report provides an example of the challenge of providing physical therapy services to a patient with the chronic disease.
