Physical activity is the prescribed treatment as per our ancients. Susruta,the great physician said "breaking stones and digging a well" are the two remedies for diabetes.WE can do neither but normal physical activity has to be encouraged unless one has special problems

[KSREDDY]

You need minimum(some) calories for breathing,heart beats and other body activities. The work u do also needs calories. These calaries come from the food or other eatables u take in.The more u work(physical ) the more colories u utilise. Each item u eat have calories per gram. It is a type of Maths.Starvation diet may control, but it is extreamely dangerous life itself. Do exercise ,walking etc.. unless it is advised by doctors not to exercise

Are you joking? Diabetes is the conseqauence of iunadequate physical activity. Don't believe any one who claims to the contrary. Spare yourself of being taken for a ride.
