Blood glucose level was measured before, immediately after and after half an hour. There was significant improvement in blood glucose level before and after treatment of patients of each group, 17.05%{u2193} improvement for group (A) and 13.08% {u2193} improvement for group (B), but there was no statistical significance difference between both groups immediately post exercise in favor group (A), also there was no statistical significance difference between both groups after half an hour exercise, in favor group (A). Upper limbs exercises controls blood glucose level more than lower limbs exercises in diabetic women type 2
