4. Swimming
Swimming stretches and relaxes muscles and does not put pressure on your wrists, which is ideal for people with diabetes. Studies have shown that swimming improves cholesterol levels, burns calories and reduces stress levels in diabetic individuals.
To maximize the benefits of swimming, it’s advisable to swim at least three times a week for a minimum of ten minutes and progressively extend the duration of your exercise. Make sure you have a snack and monitor blood sugar. Finally, inform the lifeguard about your diabetic condition before entering the pool.
