Stretching
.Stretching
Stretching can help you manage many of the complications associated with Diabetes by simply helping to stimulate blood flow to certain areas of your body and decreasing the overall level of stress in the body. The American Diabetes Association recommends that Diabetics stretch for at last 5 to 10 minutes each day – preferably before and after strength training or aerobic activities. Stretching will help to stimulate your muscles and organs to get them ready for your workout.
My knees hurt when I stretch. Should I still do it?
First, you should discuss your knee symptoms with your physician and follow his or her recommendations. In the meantime, you might do the Exercises with reduced weight (maybe even use no weight) and through a reduced range of motion—whatever it takes for you to do the exercises without pain. Don't worry about the noises, but do avoid pain. Then progress slowly, cautiously increasing both the range of motion and the amount of weight you're lifting. Over time, you should be able to strengthen your legs and improve your flexibility.
