If you want to know more about exercising safely with certain complications of diabetes, see the list below. It is important to discuss it first with your health care team.
Heart disease
Reduce: Heavy activity, weight lifting, isomeric exercise, exercise in hot or cold weather.
Recommended: Relaxing sports such as walking around the complex or park, daily work, gardening, fishing. Lift simple weights, and activities with normal temperatures.
High blood pressure
Reduce: Heavy activity, lifting weights, isomeric exercise.
Recommended: Most activities are simple like walking, lifting light weights, warming up.
Nephropathy
Reduce: Severe exercise
Recommended: Starting from mild to moderate activities such as walking, daily household activities, gardening, and water sports.
Peripheral neuropathy
Reduce: Activities that have serious, severe, or prolonged endurance activities such as walking long distances, running on a treadmill, jumping, exercising in cold or hot weather, exercise holding back when you have foot injuries, open wounds or ulcers.
Recommended: Activities that are mild to moderate, exercise in temperate climates, static sports (eg walking, cycling, sports chairs). Exercise with moderate weight is allowed when the injured leg has healed.
People with peripheral neuropathy must use sandals or shoes that are suitable and must have their feet checked every day.
Autonomic neuropathy
Reduce: Exercising in extreme hot weather where you might be dehydrated, activities that require rapid movement changes that might cause fainting. Talk to your doctor before starting a sports program. You may need a stressful exercise test.
Recommended: Mild to moderate aerobics and endurance training, but slowly add the duration of your training. Follow your doctor's recommendations.
Retinopathy
Reduce: Heavy activity, activities that require lifting heavy items, holding breath when lifting weights, exercising isomers, activities that cause the body to tremble, activity with the head down.
Recommended: Simple activities low impact (eg walking, biking, or water sports), daily activities that do not involve lifting heavy weights, sprains, or lower head position than the waist.
Peripheral Vascular Disease
Reduce: Sports high impact
Recommended: Walk (don't forget to rest every few minutes), exercise that does not withstand heavy loads: swimming, cycling, chair sports.
