Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the quality of exercise-related clinical practice guidelines for T2DM patients in order to provide the evidence for making clinical standardization guidance. Methods: We used computer to search databases, guideline network and related websites of diabetes professionals. The retrieval time was from 2010 to 2016. The published clinical guidelines of exercise for T2DM patients were recruited. Descriptive analysis included general information such as the name of the guideline, the issuing institution, the year of issue, the year of updating and the source of the guide. Results: A total of 5 guidelines were included, among which one was from China, 1 from Canada, 1 from England and 2 from the United states. The scores of guidelines according to the domains of AGREE II, from high to low, were respectively "scope and purpose" (96.1%), "clarity of presentations" (83.6%), "editorial independence" (76.3%), "participants" (69.7%), "rigour of development" (67.1%), and "applicability" (61.9%). Conclusion: The clinical nursing practice of T2DM exercises start late, and high quality clinical practice guidelines are quite few to support practice currently in China. Local practice of high quality guidelines should be developed to find evidence suitable for exercises of T2DM patients in china.
