I wish I was still 60 - I'm 71. Actually, when I'm in good fitness I can run for a short time. Did so on last cardiac stress test in February for about 5 minutes.

Before surgery (2 months ago now) I was exercising similar to your regimen but more like a fast/brisk walking speed on cross trainor. At Doctors (pre-surgery) orders I was up to 2 - 3 miles per day. It was working very well & I was keeping my glucose under real tight control with just a few pills per day.

After surgery (1/3rd of a lung removed), I could only walk very slowly for the first month or so. This weak exercise usually raised my glucose rather than lowering it. Also forced me to quadruple my meds which still didn't provide tight control of glucose.
