How old are you and where is your fitness level? It is great that you did weight training last year, your body should remember. You need to blend strength and endurance. Two to three times a week, do weight training. Then on alternate days, two to three times a week do some form of cardio.

If you already have some basic fitness, I might suggest you try workouts in the book "The New Rules of Lifting for Women" by by Schuler, Forsythe and Cosgrove. Many of those workouts may need modification for a bowflex. You may also find "The Bowflex Body Plan" by Ell Darden to be helpful, it has lots of routines that can be performed with your equipment. Both of these are available from amazon.

Neither of these are informative for diabetics, in truth I have found almost nothing helpful for diabetic weight training. There is a book by Sheri Colberg called "The Diabetic Athlete," but I found it minimally helpful.

Good Luck
