You go on the steps up and down a few times a day.

My husband does a series of RAF press ups. He is not able to do as many as he used to, just what he can.

Walking is the best exercise for diabetic patients

Because of lock down I am walking for exercise one hour a day, before lock down I went to the gym for 30 minutes, walking to the gym and back 30 minutes. I am planning to take a HbA1C blood test as soon as I can go to the GP practice for blood collection for test. It will be very interesting to find out how the HbA1C has changed.

Do you have any evidence walking is the best exercise?

Because of lockdown, I walk in the house and try to cover 7500 steps a day most of the days. We are in red zone and prohibited from walking outside even in the housing complex.

It's good to know that you can walk indoors during the lockdown. I walk around going up and down the steps a few times a day since I don't get to go outside. Hopefully, that can change in a few more weeks.

Thanks. Let us all hope things will change for the better and that we get back to normal life soon.

Exactly what I was thinking. I can’t wait to have some of the way things were before mixed with some of the new life style changes we had to do.😀👍🌈
