Many caretakers are unaware of the specific recommendations and restrictions regarding PA in diabetic patients. This may result in the withholding of an important therapeutic tool from patients, the unnecessary limitation of PA in patients keen to undertake it, or, on the other hand, in adverse reactions to exercise which may be prevented.
