I'm sure snorkeling is fun, and I assume that swimming is a good exercise for people dealing with diabetes, right?

We have a pool in our condo complex. There's also a hot tub. Should someone with diabetes avoid that altogether?

I don't think there is much of anything to avoid being a diabetic. I've been a type 1 Diabetic since 1977 and play golf daily(couple hours aday). I just make sure I check my bloodsugar regulary. Exercise actually keeps my bloodsugars under better control.

When I use the hot tub, I limit the use to about 15 minutes because of my high blood pressure.

I guess I thought some of the concerns associated with hypertension were also associated with diabetes.

I'm learning here!
