Abstract

This letter to editor aimed to question the role of exercises in treatment of people with co-morbid diabetes and hypertension as a twin non-communicable disorder through an overview of studies from PubMed. Limited and insufficient evidence existed for the efficacy of exercises, with two systematic reviews finding supervised structured exercises to produce beneficial effects on blood pressure and serum cholesterol. 

Keywords: Diabetic Hypertension; Hypertensive Diabetes; Non-Communicable Disorders; Exercise Rehabilitation.
