Abstract
The adoption and the maintenance of a proper training routine are critical elements for optimal blood glucose management and overall health improvement in individuals with diabetes. Physical activity reduces cardiovascular risk, contributes to weight loss and improves overall wellbeing. A combination of aerobic and resistance exercise maximizes the benefit of daily training. The risk of exercise-induced complications varies depending on the activity type and the presence of diabetes-related complications. Prescribing a personalized exercise programme may reduce the risk and maximize the benefit of physical activity in patients with diabetes.
