A team of Exercise Physiologists, Dietitians and Endocrinologists have developed a series of resources to assist in the delivery of exercise to people with diabetes.

The resources include flow charts and action plans that provide guidance based on a person’s type of diabetes and their blood glucose level.

They are free to download from this page along with the article that they were published in.
