AB  - INTRODUCTION: Physical activity (PA) plays an important role in diabetes 
      management. This study aimed to evaluate the level of PA and the barriers toward 
      practicing regular PA among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) 
      attending primary healthcare centers (PHCs) in Jeddah during 2018. MATERIALS AND 
      METHODS: A total of 250 patients were interviewed face-to-face in three PHCs. Two 
      questionnaires were used in this study. The first questionnaire measured the 
      level of PA of the participants. The second questionnaire aimed to identify 
      barriers to PA. For analysis, simple descriptive statistics, Chi-square, T-test, 
      and analysis of variance were used. RESULTS: The prevalence of physical 
      inactivity was found to be 38.4%. Males and females composed 40% and 37.4% of the 
      participants, respectively. Lack of social support, lack of energy, fear of 
      injury, and lack of skills were identified as significant barriers to PA 
      according to the level of PA. CONCLUSION: Our findings may provide baseline data 
      for future research on this topic and information for healthcare professionals to 
      improve their efforts in promoting the overall health of patients with T2DM.
