    Yes, 6kph is a good moderate speed. If you are walking 12km a day, you will definitely lose weight, unless you eat more to compensate.

    If you have bulging abs, take a good look at your diet. Fat accumulating around your middle is often a sign that you are eating too much refined carbohydrate. Check your diet and make sure you are getting the right amount of insulin.

    By the way, type 1 or type 2 diabetic?
