The awareness regarding physical inactivity and sedentarism in the aetiology of diabetes is lacking. Also, the focus on physical activity for control of diabetes and its complications is lacking in India. The aim of the present review was to determine the effectiveness of pedometer based walking programs among type 2 diabetes. We found that feedback devices like pedometer work as effective tool to increase activity awareness amongst users.
