Exercises for pre-diabetes and diabetes
One of the problems faced by diabetics is painful shoulder or ‘frozen shoulder’. This happens when the joints and tendons become inflamed which results in reduced movement. Over time they shorten which can lead to improper range of motion. It is imperative then, that you exercise and strengthen these muscles to prevent issues likes this from happening to you.
Your shoulders give your body definition and symmetry. As a matter of fact fashion designers at one time — and some still do — add shoulder pads to their clothing to give the impression of strong, developed shoulders. Well it’s time to get rid of the shoulder pads and add some real muscles to them.
The following article highlights the best exercises for developing shoulder muscles.
The Absolute Best Moves For Strong, Sexy Shoulders

Hunching over your laptop, rounding over to see your phone… we probably don’t need to remind you, but the shoulders are a common hot spot of pain. One technique pros use for warding off future aches is strengthening exercises. And, to see what moves are best for targeting this area, the American Council on Exercise (ACE) paired up with exercise scientists at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse.
What they found is that there isn’t a clear, one-move winner. That’s because the shoulder is a complex joint made up of three muscles (the anterior, medial, and posterior deltoids). The winning exercises are the popular dumbbell shoulder press, the 45-degree incline row, and the seated rear lateral raise, which elicit the highest levels of muscle activation in each muscle, respectively. Of course, always consult with your doctor before implementing a training regime if you’re currently experiencing pain.
While the researchers only looked at male participants, everyone needs to target all three areas for balanced-looking, healthy-feeling shoulders. For more on the study, and to see a demo of the moves, check out this video from ACE. Now, everyone will be wanting your shoulders to lean on.

P.S. Your shoulders are made up of smaller muscles which can get injured easily, so care must be taken not to over-train them. My best advice is to focus on them once per week.
