[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 1801120, member: 52527"] It's important that while you have unstable proliferative diabetic retinopathy and you are at risk of further vitreous haemorrhage, you do not do any exercise that increases your blood pressure. This link [URL]http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/39/11/2065.figures-only[/URL] gives the following advice :- [LIST] [*]Avoid activities that dramatically elevate blood pressure, such as vigorous activity of any type. [*]Avoid vigorous exercise; jumping, jarring, and head-down activities; and breath holding. [*]No exercise should be undertaken during a vitreous hemorrhage. [/LIST] When you have been treated for proliferative diabetic retinopathy, the new vessels that are prone to bleed can start to regress and the risk of vitreous haemorrhage starts to drop. Eventually the retinopathy will be deemed 'stable' - how long this takes can vary. You may then be able to return to your former exercise patterns but take advice from your ophthalmologist - explain the activities you enjoy and ask whether they are advised. [/QUOTE]
