There is no way if hell had me that I could walk 6 miles a day (I have FMS and Arthritis) and I doubt many other people would even have the time for that. Weight loss if over weight is good for our body anyway. When I first got my T2 diagnosis the nurse told me she had other patients who were not overweight but still diabetic. By just cutting out the added sugars and keeping low carb I both lost weight and kept my BG under better control albeit with metformin too. I only ever had a raised BG issue when I went off the rails during lockdown, couldn't afford testing strips and ate all and sundry until a fright after my yearly blood test earlier this year. Now with my low carb meals, metformin, and no exercise other than walking around indoors, I've lost the weight put on during lockdown and more. My BG readings on my meter are within the range given on here, even with the possibility of the meter being slightly out. However, I am now 4 stone lighter in weight than when originally diagnosed in 2012, and 2 stone lighter than in March this year, and still diabetic and my BG ranges are back to before the lockdown mess up. At diagnosis I was 7.9 at the hospital hbac1 (I think that's the right name for the test they do?) and since it's been around the 8's, 8.2 8.4 except for march this year when I hit 10. and the fright it gave me helped me get back on track. Daily am around 6 before meals and below 8.5 after which is good enough for me now that I have sacked the panic mode...at least for now lol
