What types of exercise are best for people with diabetes?
Any type of exercise that is aerobic, that is, activities that work your heart and lungs, are good. These include walking, biking, swimming, aerobics, rowing, in-line skating-anything that gets the large muscles of your body working, gets your heart pumping and makes blood flow through your body. If you have been sedentary for a long time, talk to your doctor before starting to exercise, and perhaps start out with short, easy walks at first until you build yourself up.
