People with “unstable blood sugars, recent severe hypoglycemia, advanced heart disease, uncontrolled hypertension, severe kidney disease, active foot ulcers, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, or significant peripheral neuropathy” should get a proper medical evaluation before planning a difficult trek. High-altitude expeditions need extra caution too.
