Start with walking; it helps if you are retired and have more control of your time.

Question:
I am 60 years old Male and have Diabetes T2 for the last 10 year.

I am taking Amryl and Gloucophage.

Please guide me to what exercise, and durintion, should I take to control my BS.


Answer:
Start with walking; it helps if you are retired and have more control of your time. I don't so I walk on my lunch hour. I started slow but steady, and now move at a brisk pace and cover at least 2 miles, probably more. Don't try to go too fast too soon. As you gain strength your pace and distance will increase.

After you build strength you could look into some of the home devices - steppers, stationary bicycle, whatever fits your budget and your space. But walking will do the job.
