Hi, I am not type 2, but about 20 years ago my diabetes specialist told me of a sceme, reduced price at the gym for people with diabetes. Even though I have always been slim and very active, at home and with work, I decided to take them up on this. If I can remember it was for about 3 months ? I went after work and hated it. Being enclosed in a room was like a caged animal to me. I love walking,being out an about in the fresh air, having a little dance to some favourite tunes, gardening, DIY, ask the council about getting an allotment, waking groups, volunteer work in the countryside and rivers, don't take the lift, take the stairs, instead, light exercises and stretching. It's not only great for the body, but for your mind too and an overall feeling of well being.
