This article doesn't say it but walking is good excercise for helping to control diabetes...

But I do try to park further from the door at work and at the store most of the time - plus I walk anywhere from 1 to 1.5 miles on the treadmill most every day (at least 5 of 7 days per week, usually more).

I bought a pedometer, measured my stride as the instructions said, then set off on several walks, which I knew were exactly a mile from start to finish.

I agree with 2sweet02, I have tried several and have trouble getting the stride correct or they just aren't working right so I gave up.

I really like it having a leash !! first couple days, I wore it on waistband and knocked it off at least 3 times each day.
