Which statement regarding exercise for a type 2 diabetic is incorrect?

Strenuous exercise is not universally contraindicated for all individuals with type 2 diabetes; rather, it depends on the patient's overall health, diabetes control, and presence of any complications. Many individuals with type 2 diabetes can engage in vigorous exercise if they are well-managed, have no cardiovascular issues, and are appropriately educated about their condition.

In fact, exercise is generally encouraged as part of the management plan for type 2 diabetes as it can lead to improved insulin sensitivity and better glucose control. Therefore, stating that strenuous exercise is contraindicated for all type 2 diabetics is incorrect.

The other statements are accurate within the context of diabetes management. Continuing anti-diabetic agents even in instances where a patient is unable to eat may be necessary, but close monitoring of blood glucose levels is important to prevent hypoglycemia. Exercise does enhance the body's ability to metabolize glucose, which can lead to improvements in blood sugar control. Furthermore, vigorous afternoon exercise can indeed increase the risk of hypoglycemia during the evening, particularly if meals and medication are not adjusted accordingly.
