Research has shown that people with diabetes will get the most benefits from doing strength training with weights or elastic bans and aerobic exercises such as a brisk walk, dancing, low impact aerobics, swimming, ice skating or roller skating, playing tennis or a stationary bicycle indoors.

Working out to control your diabetes can be fun, but remember to get an exercise buddy and choose an activity that is fun for you. Maybe choose a few activities and alternate days or weeks that you do them so you don’t get bored with the same old routine. Maybe, you could start a neighborhood or workplace outdoor activity evening to get to know your neighbors or co-workers better and get them involved in becoming healthier too. Meet them at a tennis court, basket ball court, or walking path to join you for a fun-filled event, it could be a lot of fun.
