Which of the following indicates that a diabetic client should stop exercising and should not resume workouts without a doctor’s release?
  1. Blood glucose under 250 mg/dL
  2. Blood glucose over 250 mg/dL and ketones in urine
  3. Mild kidney disease
  4. Any signs of peripheral neuropathy
Explanation
Answer: B - Blood glucose over 250 mg/dL and ketones in urine is an indicator that exercise should be stopped. The client should not exercise again until the condition is resolved, and he or she should obtain a doctor’s release to continue exercising. The presence of ketones indicates that insulin is not sufficient, and ketone build-up can eventually lead to a coma.
