Abstract: Physical exercises is known to improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar levels. In busy schedule people may find it difficult to dedicate time for exercises. Hence its important to evaluate the routine physical activity and its effect on blood sugar. T he objective of the study was to correlate Baeckes Physical activity with fasting and post prandial blood sugar in Type II Diabetes Mellitus.60 participants both males and females between 30-60 years were given Baeckes scale and blood sugar levels were noted. The results showed significant correlation of Baeckes total index with fasting (r=-0.4467, p=0.0003) and Post Prandial level (r=-0.4467, p=0.0001).

Keywords: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Baecke's Habitual physical activity scale, Blood sugar levels
