Aims/Introduction This study examined the effect of daily walking steps on glycated hemoglobin, body mass index (BMI) and body composition while taking into consideration sedentary time (ST) in Japanese type 2 diabetes patients over a period of 12 months. Materials and Methods Self‐administered ST values and information regarding daily walking steps were obtained and analyzed for 236 patients with type 2 diabetes who regularly visited the outpatient clinic. The patients – divided into three categories of daily walking steps: non‐step counter user,
