Hey Brian
Thanks - that will give me a start. I was in an exercise and diabetes study last year so I have some very basic training. I did gain some muscle and strength. I was in the weight training group so not able to do any cardo. I am 45 and defineatly not fit. I don't have any weight issues but have no flexability what so ever. I am going to yoga which is much cheaper than physio. I am having a great deal of difficulty with my frozen shoulders and my trigger finger tendonitis in my right hand. The doc said "move it or lose it" is my only recorse. It's quite painful which is a motivator and I found last year that the weight training with yoga really helped. I am not sure what to do for cardio but running is something I want to try. I can't run more than 30 seconds right now but the study ran many tests to ensure I wasnt a risk so I'm not worried. I think there are enough diabetics out there to open a diabetes exercise institute!
