Hi, 90 kilos at the age of 22 yrs is extremely over weight. It is better to work out in the gym under the guidance of a good trainer so that you can try to avoid health hazards caused by obesity.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. There is no restriction for T1 or T2 diabetic person to go to gym and do regular work outs. Only thing he should take care that while going for workouts not allow glucose level to drop too low. So before exercise some light snacks must be taken. Thanks.
