My mother (age: 66) is diagnosed with Diabetes. She is also suffering from Osteoporosis (knee) since the last 10 years. If she walks for more than 10 minutes, she has an unbearable pain in her knees and legs. Also she cannot climb stairs. In such a situation, how can we enable her to exercise and control her sugar levels? Is exercise important? What treatments can we do for her? Please advise.
