I'm type 2, diagnosed at the age of 65, nearly two years ago and don't have medication or test at the moment but for the last 6 months I've been exercising every morning - 20 squats, 30 press ups [the women's version, on knees] 10 touch toes and 20 towel stretches. In the evenings I do more, 30 straight leg roll ups, 20 double leg raises, 20 squats, 10 side planks, a 3 minute plank, glute walk - 25 steps each side using a theraband, 40 criss cross and 10 Turkish get ups. Prior to that my 'exercise' consisted of nothing more than things like gardening, playing with Grandchildren, going for walks etc. In three weeks time I'll be going for my 6 monthly diabetic check up and I'm hoping to hear that my BG levels are well under control after all that. I got the exercise bug after needing to see a chiropractor and seeing how effective the re hab exercises he gave me, they increased my agility enormously and gave me a flat stomach. I now see an exercise guru at the same clinic on a regular basis, he makes sure I'm doing everything properly and am progressing at a rate that suits my abilities.
