Diabetes daily cardio training requirements

This will all depend on what you want to accomplish. If you are at your target weight and you want to just have a little help controlling your blood sugar readings then 30 minutes a day is just fine. But if you want to lose weight that is another story. Then we are talking 90 minutes per day minimum if you seriously want to lose weight. Keep in mind, if you do not do at least 90 minutes a day then you will have trouble losing weight. Of course you have to watch how many calories you consume also. If you are consuming 3000 calories a day, doing cardio 90 minutes a day and are not losing weight what would you think the problem might be? You guessed it, so try a little less calories, like about 1200 for an average size women or 1600 for an average size male. Eat this many calories a day, do 90 minutes cardio training (with your heart rate in between 95 and 140 beats per minute) and you will lose weight. For more information on this subject see my cardio training section of my site.
