Hi, I have queries.
1.Can a diabetes patient joint a gym and do some exercise under the monitor of a trainer or go for yoga?
Hi Rinaxmi ,
yes ofcourse a diabeti can do all this under proper monitoration . and while going to the gym it is important that the person carries a sweet candy and lots of water with them . this will help in case if the sugar levels go below normal . the trainer too should be beforehand informed about the diabetic status of the patient. a mini meal before gym is important.
