I would like to share the most ideal exercise for diabetics being followed by me right from 2007 and devised by my good friend Dr. Satish Kumar a renowned Diabetologist from Hyderabad during his clinical studies on 3600 critical patients.

This exercise can be carried out in ones own home in your hall or terrace. Mark two points on the floor at a distance of 9 feet apart, and WALK around it at a comfortable pace forming the figure of "8". This exercise according to Dr. Satish Kumar is equivalent to one hour of brisk walking. Since it can be carried out in ones home, there can be no excuse of Sun or Rain for not exercising, nor a particular time for going out for your daily walk. In case you cannot find the time, or you are unable to do it at one stretch, you may do it for 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the evening.

Yes I have definitely benefited by following the above exercise since the last 6 years. (of course along with a total lifestyle change). I was a very sick person in 2007 with a serious heart ailment and high diabetes. Today I am near normal, with hardly any medication,very active and working 8+ hours every day even at age 68.( working part time for 3 different companies spread at a distance of 60 kms apart). I have advocated it to several of my friends who have got back to me about its benefits. As for the scientific explanation, Dr. Satish Kumar's clinical trials known as NICE 2004 was the largest single study carried out by any Doctor on 3600 critically ill patients including diabetic patients, and more than 3000 of them are still living and leading a normal healthy life. He has devised and used this exercise as part of his study and it should be proof enough of its efficacy.

Sir very good suggestion. I think everybody should follow it.It does not cost anything, and no side effects.But the problem is that most of the people are in search of some MAGIC pill.If you tell them that you are in possession of some pill which can cure diabetes,they will fall over each other to get hold of that pill,instead of doing this simple exercise.
