I think most of us T2s are put on a regime of tablets and/or insulin, amended diet and excercise.
With the excercise aspect in mind, I'm just wondering how much do you do? I read somewhere even vacuuming the floor or doing the washing up (those with diswashers can ignore this bit!) can help. Even a good half hour's brisk walk daily I've read is good for you as is also getting off the bus one stop earlier to walk that bit more also going up in the lift but walking down the stairs.....
However, I'm more interested in those who go a little bit further by taking up sports. I've just joined a gym: 1st week just the once then 2nd week 2 times then thereafter 3 times a week. Just generally doing a lil' bit of cardio and toning up plus the occasional swim. I have no aspirations to be the next Arnold!
Anybody else here been prompted to take up sports of sorts since their T1/T2 diagnosis?
