AB  - AIM: Aim of the study isto assess the scope of physical activity among type 2 
      diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients residing in an urban area of SouthIndia. 
      MATERIALS AND METHODS: A longitudinal interventional study was conducted for a 
      period of 8months (January 2014-August 2014) among patients of T2DM accessing the 
      healthcare services at an Urban Health and Training Center (UHTC) of a Medical 
      College located in Kancheepuram district, Tamil Nadu. Universal sampling method 
      was employed and all diagnosed T2DM patients attending UHTC during the month of 
      January were enrolled in the study provided they satisfied the inclusion and 
      exclusion criteria. Overall 151 participants were considered for final analysis 
      and all of them were subjected to indulge in moderate type of aerobic exercise in 
      the form of brisk walking for 2.5 h spread over a period of 1 week, for the next 
      6months. Before and after the exercise regimen, cases were subjected to clinical 
      evaluation, measurement of weight and waist circumference, and estimation of 
      fasting and postprandial blood sugar; and the results were compared with the 
      baseline estimates. The associations were tested using paired t-test for 
      continuous (mean +/- standard deviation ( SD)) variables. RESULTS: Majority (86, 
      57%) of the diabetics were from the age group of 40-60 years with a definite 
      female preponderance (82/151) in contrast to males (69/151). A significant 
      reduction in both fasting and postprandial sugar was observed before and after 
      the exercise. However, from the perspective of the weight and waist 
      circumference, although a reduction was observed, the association was not 
      statistically significant. CONCLUSION: The findings of the present longitudinal 
      study suggest that compliance with moderate type of physical activity can 
      significantly improve the fasting and postprandial blood sugar, apart from 
      reduction in weight of T2DM patients.
