Thnx to all of you who have replied so far. Your input and idea's are most appreciated and meaningful.
For
Scratch: I'm asking you this because what with you being busy training for a marathon, you're obviously an experienced and knowledgeable runner. You state, and I quote:

Overall, you probably burn more calories with the bike rides, which will help you towards your goal with the weight loss.

What if...instead of that hard brisk walk I start off running a bit? After not having ran for quite a few year's, I know I have to start of very slow and easily. Say...something like the Airborne Shuffle maybe? (Yes, I'm former military. Army Ranger for 13 year's and for those who don't know what the Airborne Shuffle is...well, you know when you see a movie and it takes place on a military base and you always see a platoon or company of soldier's running and singing in cadence? Well, that's the Airborne Shuffle. You can easily do 10 mile's at that pace once you've worked your way up to it. And working your way up to it at such a pace doesn't take too long a time). Will that help me burn off more calorie's than the walk and incorporate this with my afternoon bike ride?
I actually got three goal's and they are:
1. To maintain as low a blood value as humanly safe without having critical hypo's;
2. To burn off as many calorie's as I can to reach my goal of losing 5 more kilo's, so that the Dr. will
3. Take me off my insuline and med's so that I can try and go the route of treating this diabete's without insuline and med's.
Granted, being 57 yr's old now I'm fortunate that I can still do all this without too much difficulty and to be honest I don't know how the situation will be for me in another, say, 5 - 10 year's. Whether or not I'll be physically be able to maintain this routine, but for now, I have to give it the 'ole college try, so-to-speak and go for it.
Again...thnx everyone for you replie's and input and
Greeeeetz to all
