Coupled with a regular cardiovascular workout or walking exercise, this would be a complete package for staying injury-free and neuropathy-free for a very long time! Here is a list of the benefits of the Gyrotronic® exercise for someone with diabetes:

• Improve your body's use of insulin.
• Improve muscle strength.
• Increase bone density and bone strength.
• Lower blood pressure.
• Improve blood circulation.
• Increase energy level and enhance work capacity.
• Reduce stress, promote relaxation, and release tension and anxiety.

In some cases, Gyrotonic® sessions can be covered by your health insurance if the instructor is a physical therapist.  

Recently, Shaquille O'Neal touted that he uses Gyrotonic® as a part of his training.  Athletes realize that cardio and strength training is not enough to keep the body injury-free, and so many are moving into practicing yoga, Pilates and Gyrotonic® exercise.
