Exercise, like healthy eating, will help reduce your cardiovascular risk, and help you manage your blood sugar levels and weight. A typical day in the life of someone with Type 2 diabetes should include some physical activity like aerobic exercise or stretching. Even just choosing the stairs, or walking to your co-worker’s cubicle instead of sending her an email, will make a difference.
