diabetics can do the same physical activites every one else does. You just have to be sure to eat properly before, check your sugars during, and make sure you have sugar/glucagon and a protien to follow just incase.

Any form of exercises will do, e.g. bending, stretching, etc. as long as it stimulates the cardiovascular system. Calories will burn as long as there is movement of the body. Also, if you are a retiree, go back to work and just do not be a couch potato.
