Since diabetes is a chronic condition, exercise alone is just one component of managing the disease. Diet is also critically important, which is why I encourage clients to keep a food journal.
Aim for 20–60 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise 3–4 days per week. (Walking and non-weight-bearing activities, such as water aerobics and cycling, are good choices.) However, I highly recommend daily exercise. Slowly warm up your muscles for at least five to seven minutes before aerobic exercise.
Perform Resistance training. Follow a lower-resistance, lower-intensity program with at least one set of exercises for the major muscle groups, with 10–15 repetitions, 2-3 days per week.
Stretching. After each workout, stretch the major muscle groups to the point of tightness (not pain) for about 15-30 seconds, 2–4 times per stretch.
Never bounce when stretching, which can cause you to pull a muscle.

Keeping fit and healthy is very important. Each age group has his own fitness activity in the midst of everyday life. It is, however, important to understand that not everyone has the same level of fitness and health. So each individual has to create an exercise regime based on his baseline health and fitness level. Doing so will prevent injury and even potential risk to life. I can set up a program designed specifically just for you.
