With regard to the second goal of this study, the results indicate that subjects involved in the exercise program show significantly improved positive affect, satisfaction with life, physical activity, sleep, stress, and nutrition behaviors, in addition to significantly diminished negative affect. However, these results should be interpreted with some caution as our study did not have a control group and the sample was one of convenience, which limits the capacity of inference of the results.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The present results support evidence confirming the positive effects of Physical Exercise through the <jats:italic>Diabetes em Movimento\u00ae<\/jats:italic> program to foster SWB and promote healthier lifestyle behaviors among T2D subjects.
