CAN SOMEONE WHO HAS DIABETES EXERCISE SAFELY?
ANS. Exercise is essential for everyone to maintain good health and keeping vigorous and fit throughout our lives. Having diabetes doesnt prevent the person from exercising and even makes it more essential. The exercise will reduce the body fat and build muscle, thus controlling body weight. It can also lower the blood glucose levels, and help you use the bodys natural insulin in a more effective manner. Having diabetes can raise blood pressure. During exercise the blood pressure may rise somewhat, so keeping a check on your blood pressure is advisable when exercising. Also, do avoid exercising if your blood glucose is over 240mg/dl, or if ketones are found.
