[QUOTE="mfactor, post: 1150903, member: 67718"] Me too , but had resigned myself to it (well walking miles a day to start :() after diagnosis but found it difficult to keep up, anyway I have always lifted ,so looked online to find the information sketchy with a lot of sources saying that it should be cardio[B] [/B](aerobic) type exercise for diabetics but found some sources (many thru this site) that said any exercise is good , so modified my usual weights routine to be higher rep , more sets and shorter rest periods to give my workouts a higher aerobic element, ( try a set of 20 rep breathing squats :***: ) and also upped the frequency to 3/4 or even 5 times a week............ Seems to be working well for me, IMO its best to find something that works and that you like doing as you will be much more likely to stick with it....:) [/QUOTE]
