Physical activity

Physical activity is good for everyone, not just people with diabetes. It helps you to feel good, look better and keep trim. And it can be fun! You don�t need special clothes or gear to kick a football around in the park. All types of activity, such as swimming, riding your bike or walking, can help you control your diabetes.
