ABSTRACT
Regular physical activity has important physiological and psychological benefits for all people. There are, however, special concerns for people with diabetes that require consideration before recommending an exercise program. Risks associated with exercise include exercise-induced hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia and worsening of long-term complications. Safe participation in all forms of exercise is possible through proper screening and teaching specific diabetes self-management skills.
