This study was used quantitative research design. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection from 100 diagnosed diabetes patients. Data were analysis by using SPSS descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings of the study indicated a statistically significant relationship between morning walk and diabetes management. Regular morning walk showed a moderate negative correlation with fasting glucose level(r = -0.42), and a positive relationship with glycemic control (r = 51). Regression analysis showed that walking frequency was significant predictor of fasting glucose levels (p < 0.001). ANOVA results, further explored that participants, who walked more than 30 minutes regularly have significant better fasting glucose level compared to sedentary lifestyle (p < 0.001).
