Treadmills are a good idea... if you use them. I walk around 5 to 7 miles a day outdoors to keep from getting bored. Since adopting a healthy diet in combination with the walking, I've reversed my diabetes to the point that I no longer am taking any Metformin. Under my profile are some links. Just click the diabetes info link for some ideas that might help you.

You sure can, but it is cheaper just to get your shoes on and go for a walk. No big money outlay and you get to see things. It would be less dull to walk in a park or by a beach or river. Go and enjoy life. I am an insulin dependent diabetic and prefer to just go walking out of doors. Unless you live in Antarctica... there you may need the treadmill because of the climate.
Lay off the fats in a big way... that is where the Triglycerides and cholesterol have a big influence. Also make sure you use measured portions of carbohydrates and watch which kind you choose. Good luck. You have to look after yourself so you can stick around and enjoy life.
Cheers and Happy New Year.

I am also a diabetic whose cholesterol is well regulated with medication.
A treadmill is an excellent source for exercise which is highly recommended.
I would check though with your doctor. The recommendation is to have 30 minutes or more of exercise most days of the week.
Good luck, you are on the right track (pun intended).

Diabetes with cholesterol is very dangerous. The next step will be coronary artery disease. You are already in danger zone. Is your diabetes insulin dependent or non insulin? You should start medication immediately to control your diabetes and reduce your cholesterol. Take cinnamon powder one pinch with warm water at bed time. Indian Mulberry herbal fruit juice works to control diabetes of type-I and II. Dibonil homoeopathy liquid is quite effective to control non insulin diabetes. Ayurvedic capsule Rudved or Cardoved or Suved is good to prevent heart attack and bring down cholesterol. check in google.

It is very important that you control your diabetic and hyperlipidaemic state with proper and adequate medication, change of lifestyle, physical exercise and proper dietary care. It's needless to say that you have to consult your physician regularly to see whether your regime is working effectively as desired and for which some biochemical tests need to be done regularly. Treadmill is one effective means of exercising no doubt, but before that you need to be checked for cardiorespiratory fitness, more so since you are diabetic hyperlipidaemic. Having said that, its' advisable to go about it gradually under guidance.

instead of a treadmill, think of going out for a walk with ur spouse in the evening or morning, this will be beneficial in two ways- it will make u feel closer to him/her, and it will also save u a good 15,000 rupees. (which is what is need to buy a decent treadmill.)
other things that u can do, ur doc must have told u... like taking regular medications, modifying ur diet reducing fat, cutting down sugar, and so forth.

Definitely! Exercise will always help. Start off slow and work your way up. Talk to your doctor about a specific exercise program for you. Exercise will help your good cholesterol and overall health. God Bless you and have a healthy and happy new year.

Regular exercise is a good idea.
You should also decrease your sugar and fat intake. Drink water instead of soft drinks. Eat more fruits and vegetables, less fatty meats.
Most importantly make sure you drink lots of water as your body needs it to break down sugars and fats.

I have the same problems, I use a treadmill, in fact recommended by my doctor. I would suggest you consult your doctor just to be safe, as we don't know all of your issues.
