Lifestyle management is an elemental aspect of diabetes care, wherein both patient and care providers play pivotal roles. 1 It is well-known that exercise improves blood glucose control, reduces CV risk, induces weight loss, and improves the overall health of individuals with diabetes. However, the management of blood glucose varies with diabetes type, physical activity/exercise type, and the presence of complications.
