Therefore, we prospectively studied the effect of lockdown on physical activity and glycemic control in people with pre-existing type 2 diabetes mellitus. We observed an overall improvement of glycemic parameter in people with long-standing type 2 diabetes associated with an increase in physical activity as assessed with GPAQ score during the lockdown period unlike the conventional belief of worsening of glycemic control and limitation of physical activity. This is the first large, prospective study amongst people with long-standing type 2 diabetes to assess the effect of more than 3 months duration of lockdown on glycemic control.	./cache/cord-288851-lz5qc1f3.txt	./txt/cord-288851-lz5qc1f3.txt
