1. The procedure based on lymphatic flow stimulation                  involves Gentle Tapping and Shaking Exercise.

👉 Why? The therapy enhances blood circulation and aids swelling reduction and promotes glucose metabolism.

🔹 How to Do It:

• Stand or sit comfortably.
• Use your hands to provide mild taps across your arms, chest, legs and back.
• After tapping for 2 minutes, shake your hands and feet for 1–2 minutes.

🔹 Duration: 3–5 minutes
🔹 Benefits: The lymphatic system becomes active through this process to eliminate toxins while refining                                insulin operation.

2. Toe Raises with Breath Control                                                    (Foot Strength & Nerve Health)

👉 Why? Diabetes affects the feet due to nerve damage. This exercise improves blood flow to the extremities.

🔹 How to Do It:

• Maintain your feet at a distance equal to your hip bones.
• Slowly lift your toes while keeping your heels on the ground.
• Breathe in deeply as you lift your toes and exhale while lowering them.

🔹 Reps: 12–15
🔹 Benefits: The combination of exercise and patient education helps protect against diabetic neuropathy                                  while building lower muscle strength and improving body stability.

3. Seated Figure 8 (Core & Blood Sugar Balance Exercise)

👉 Why? Your core gets activated by this particular move while digestion improves to support blood sugar regulation.

🔹 How to Do It:

• Sit on a chair and hold a light ball or any small object.
• Move the object in a figure-eight motion around your legs.
• During the exercise maintain core stability while keeping your body upright.

🔹 Reps: 10 per side
🔹 Benefits: Different core stability levels together with better digestion capabilities and body balance                                     contribute toward glucose regulation.

4. Finger & Wrist Flexing                                                                  (Diabetic Joint Care & Blood Flow Exercise)

👉 Why? Many diabetes patients experience stiffness in fingers and wrists due to poor circulation.

🔹 How to Do It:

• Extend your arms forward and open your fingers wide.
• Slowly curl them into a fist and release.
• Roll your wrists in circles in both directions.

🔹 Reps: 15 each
🔹 Benefits: Better blood circulation in the hands combined with nerve function improvement prevents hand                            stiffness.

5. Slow Motion Wall Push-Ups (Gentle Strength Training for      Blood Sugar Control)

👉 Why? Resistance training lowers blood sugar for hours after exercising.

🔹 How to Do It:

• Position yourself 2 feet from the wall while keeping your hands spaced at shoulder width.
• Slowly lower yourself toward the wall, then push back up.
• Draw your core tight while continuously breathing during the exercise.

🔹 Reps: 8–12
🔹 Benefits: Strengthens upper body muscles, helping increase glucose uptake by muscles.

6. Walking on grass while barefoot serves both as a method        to alleviate diabetic stress and generate energy.

👉 Why? The act of walking without footgear on natural terrain helps humans manage stress while maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

🔹 How to Do It:

• Find a safe outdoor area with soft grass.
• Exceedingly slow walking enables the experience of soil contact
• Deep breathing alongside relaxation forms the central part of your treatment.

🔹 Duration: 5–10 minutes
🔹 Benefits: The activity diminishes the presence of cortisol which serves as a stress hormone contributing                               to blood sugar spikes.

7. The Towel Leg Slide functions as an exercise for                        improving leg flexibility and blood circulation.

👉 Why? Diabetes can affect leg mobility and flexibility over time.

🔹 How to Do It:

• Sit on a smooth floor and place a towel under one foot.
• Slide your foot forward and backward, using the towel for support.
• Switch legs and repeat.

🔹 Reps: 10 per leg
🔹 Benefits: The blood flow in lower limbs improves through the compression gear thus minimizing                                         stiffness along with circulation problems.
