Abstract
If you have diabetes, one of the best things you can do for yourself is to stay-or begin to be-active. A regular exercise program can help stabilize your blood sugar, reduce your need for insulin and medication, and keep your weight under control. Diabetes increases the risk of heart disease, but exercise can lower it. Best of all, exercise helps you get more out of life.
