Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Instruct patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus to perform low- to moderate-intensity exercises, carry a concentrated form of carbohydrates (sugar packets or hard candy), and wear a medical alert bracelet. Low intensity is not beneficial. Moderate to high and high intensity are not recommended for a beginner exercise program.
