Hi CrazyGramma!

I have but one recommendation on exercise for diabetics, or anyone else for that matter, do the type of exercise you enjoy. Enjoyable exercise becomes something that you look forward to rather than looking for excuses to avoid.

For me that is bicycle riding, for others it is swimming, or running, or walking, or whatever suits your fancy. It should be both aerobic and contain some muscle building content. I accomplish the muscle building with a BowFlex machine three times per week and I actually enjoy the upper body routine I developed form myself. I get loads of lower body every day riding the bicycle.
