It is important for diabetics to exercise in order to control their weight and lower blood sugar level. Exercise also lowers your risk of heart disease, a condition which is common in people who have diabetes. As a benefit to all individuals, exercise helps you feel better about yourself and increases your overall health.

It is important to talk to your doctor about what kind of exercise is right for you. Most doctors recommend aerobic exercise, such as walking, jogging, swimming, or bicycling.

Before exercising it is important to warm up and cool down when you are done by doing low-intesity exercise and stretching. For additional information click on exercise!
