Tip of the Day - Blood Sugar Control

From Diabetic Living On Line web site.


Blood Sugar Control: Stay Active for Your Health

The American Diabetes Association recommends accumulating 30 minutes of aerobic activity on most days and doing resistance activities (pushing, pulling, lifting) three times a week.

Exercise:
• Lowers blood glucose levels.
• Helps your body use insulin better.
• Decreases total cholesterol and triglycerides (blood fats) and increases HDL (good) cholesterol.
• Decreases blood pressure.
• Fosters weight loss and maintenance.
• Increases strength, endurance, and flexibility.
• Increases energy and feelings of well-being.
