Precautions for exercise in diabetic patients

Exercise improves insulin function and helps control blood sugar levels, making it an essential part of treatment for diabetes patients.

 

However, some diabetic patients must also avoid exercise depending on their disease status and blood sugar levels.

 

Always refrain from exercising if any of the following situations apply!

 

Long-term Prohibitions

1) In cases of orthostatic hypotension

2) In cases of severe peripheral neuropathy

3) In cases of retinopathy

 

Temporary prohibition

1) When blood sugar levels are between 60 mg/dl and 290 mg/dl regardless of meal status

2) In case of hypoglycemia occurring before exercise

3) In case of dehydration symptoms

4) In cases of acute infectious diseases

 

Check your condition and blood sugar, and exercise safely!
