| ABSTRACT Diabetes is a heterogeneous complicated metabolic health condition characterized by elevated plasma glucose concentrations as a result of insulin resistance, inadequate insulin production, or both. Diabetes mellitus is a complex, persistent condition that necessitates ongoing medical treatment and multifactorial risk reduction techniques in addition to glucose control to prevent acute complications and lower the chance of long-term problems. Diabetes has become a major worldwide health concern due to its rising incidence and accompanying health complications including neuropathy, retinopathy, and nephropathy, all of which impair functional activities and health related quality of life. Diabetes can impact functional performance in several ways: Sensory and visual impairment, muscle weakness, postural instability, low exercise tolerance and decreased functional capacity. Exercises play an important role in controlling blood glucose. It has become one of the ideal means of rehabilitation for patients with diabetes. | ||
