Abstract Background: Glucose level is increased in diabetic patient and exercise is an important method in decreasing fasting and postprandial glucose level. Aim of Study: The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of mild exercises versus moderate exercise on glucose level in patients with type 2 diabetes. Subject and Methods: 40 patients (men and women) diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependant diabetes mellitus) with age ranged from 50 to 60 years old.

Group A included 20 patients participated in mild exercise in form of 10 minute walking program 3 times weekly for two months and Group B included 20 patients participated in a moderate exercise in form of 10 minute walking program 3 times weekly for two months. Blood sample for measuring fasting and postprandial glucose level before and after exercise program. Results: It showed that in most measures the rate of decrease of fasting and postprandial glucose level in group B who participated moderate exercise is greater than Group A who participated mild exercise. Conclusion: Participatingexercise decreases fasting and postprandial glucose level in patients with type 2 diabetes. Moderate exercise had a greater effect on decreasing glucose level than mild exercise. | ||||
