  Exercise is generally encouraged by the medical profession for people with diabetes, as it is for the public at large. However, the benefits and risks to people with diabetes are more pronounced than in those without the condition. It is therefore imperative that members of diabetes specialist teams and primary care teams are aware of these beneficial and adverse effects. Committed to a topical issue, this book explores some of the new information that has accumulated over recent years, regarding this subject. It provides a very practical outlook allowing the reader to fully understand and brief patients on the issues involved. The text investigates the physiological effects of both easy and strenuous physical activity.
