As you say the answer is sketchy, all I know is that when my retinopathy was active I was told to refrain from anything too active and unfortunetly this included running, roller coaster rides were a No too and I was also told to avoid repeated lifting where it meant bending down, I asked if walking was OK as I walk a lot miles each week but was told this is fine.
What I would is check with your Ophthalmologist first and ask for their opinion, good luck!!!

I suspect the best answer is ask your doctor
Here though is an answer to a similar question.

Unfortunately this list from an article in Diabetes care would perhaps seem to rule out jogging with PDR
(table 2)

Thank you both. I will check out those links now and refrain from running or repeated or heavy lifting till I get to see the eye specialist again - hopefully in a month's time.
