A. 1 hour
B. 2.5 hours
C. 5 hours

Answer and topic summary

The answer is B. 2.5 hours

2.5 hours of walking per week has been identified as the minimum amount of physical activity that significantly reduces the risk for kidney disease and neuropathy in patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). Regular moderate-intensity exercise, such as walking, improves glucose control, helps in weight management, and enhances overall cardiovascular health, which in turn can mitigate the risk of diabetic complications.
