There is great news form people who have type 2 diabetes and like doing water aerobics for exercise.  A new study which was published in the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport found that this type of exercise is just as good for you as dry-land exercise and it may actually be safer for you because it involves less risk of injury.  The study found that those who did water aerobics reduced their blood glucose (A1C) levels by .42 percentage points versus 0.35 percentage points for those doing dry-land exercise for the same length of time.  Try it, this can be a fun routine to get into.
