The growing increase in obesity has led more and more people to some kind of cronic non-transmittable disease such as diabetes mellitus type II, whose number of patients has increased in recent years. Thus, this paper aimed to evaluate the fasting glycaemia after 12 weeks of hydrogymnastics classes in men and women with diabetes mellitus type II. The study counted on the participation of 29 individuals from both sexes, distributed in a male group (n=10) and in a female (n=5) exercised with water aerobics, and two control groups, a male (n=5) and a female (n=9). Body mass (BM), body mass index (BMI) and fasting glycaemia (FG) were assessed at the beginning of the study (M0), after six (M1) and 12 weeks of follow-up (M2). Classes lasted for an hour, three week sessions, for twelve weeks. There was a reduction on BM between (M0: 78.0±8.6 and M2: 75.5±8.5kg; p=0.01) and FG between (M0: 199.8±87.5; M1: 125.0±38.6 mg/dL and M2: 138.0±40.4 mg/dL; p=0.03), both for the male group exercised. About the female hydrogymnastics group, there was significative reduction only for the FG between (M0: 213.8±77.1mg/dL and M2: 134.0±38.2mg/dL; p=0.04). There was no statistical difference when the groups were compared among themselves. In conclusion, the regular practice of hydrogymnastics favors the body mass control just like the fasting glycaemia in diabetes type II porters, however, such effects need an in depth investigation, about the influence of gender and age of the individuals, particularly in women on climacteric.
