One has to agree with this observation. Diabetics, being generally of older age, there are not many options for exercising.

[Hidden in reply to venkatg]

More and more younger population is diagnosed as diabetics. It's no more a retirement disease, but now comes at a productive age.

With concrete roads running could be more detrimental whereas walking is the safest of exercises available.

I think,

For those older than 70-walking

Between 50-70-speed walking\jogging

40-50-running

>40-fast running

Because it saves time and burns more calories as the intensity increases.

Nearby school grounds, playgrounds, gardens , jogging tracks can be used for the purpose.

This is an interesting and very helpful article, Hidden . A lot of people should try to get walking in each day, if possible. It helps with the blood sugars and in general. Thank you for posting this for everyone.
