You are the first person to admit that the Type 2 is all diet and exercise related. I know for me that I have to be active and exercise. I am on Metformin but it's not enough. I don't think my pancreas has produced enough insulin for a long time. That's my opinion. I knew 30 years back I had a problem and ate and exercised accordingly. It's taken this long to get treatment and confirmation.

Exercise and physical activity is important. he doesn't need to body build. A good fast walk several times a week will do it. Limit the grains. Limit processed foods. See a doctor. High blood sugar can affect blood flow.
