Can anyone tell me which work out is good for diabatics ? I believe walk is must whether u do yoga or other gym work outs.

But my friends say it doesn't matter whether u walk or do yoga .

They say it's just the work out.

Walk is not necessary if you do 1 hour yoga.

Please guide me.

what doctor suggested to my aunt was 30 minutes brisk walk for diabetes. no idea about yoga cause never asked about it to any doctor.

I will take online consultation and let you know.

In my view any physical exercise is good because it makes you sweat and thus burn the sugar. Now some people because of the age would opt for some exercises convenient to their age and ability.

Walking is the main solution. But remember metformin makes this useless. walk when your medications are not active, and don't jog or run. walk at brisk little fast pace.

Hi Trebormij I browse regardging d2 and I had this information that while taking metformin do not go for exercise or walks as your metform in already working. it is better to time your walks before injesting the meds. thank you

I have a recumbent indoor cycle and try to do 15 - 20 minutes a day. It has worked for me for 7 months. I have lost weight, built strong legs, lowered blood pressure readings, and sugar levels. I wish I had got it years ago. JanR
