Diabetes Awareness: The Downside... a New Wardrobe?
Here is some commonsense thinking: I can't understand why anyone who has diabetes wouldn't exercise
and watch what they eat. The down side is that you may have to get an entire new wardrobe
since exercise and healthy eating causes weight and size reduction. When it happens, people tell you how great you look and that
motivates you even more. Other side effects: you'll also sleep better and feel more
rested than before you started walking and eating better. I prefer walking outside, especially when the weather is nice. I
even designed a walking path about 2.5 miles long around my
neighborhood; part flat and part hilly. You'll find that a walking program helps more than your body. "For me, walking time is good thinking time. Nobody is there to
interrupt my thoughts. And even when I walk on the treadmill in
front of the TV, I find it helps me get ready for the day." Exercise and healthy eating.... A powerful duo for diabetics! Ask your doctor about diabetes and have your blood sugar checked

Insulin
Insulin has two critical roles in the body that we cannot live without, yet it can be the root of many health problems, including diabetes. Insulin carries sugar (glucose), fat and protein into your cells where they are used for energy and the repair of your cells. When you eat, a certain amount of the food will be converted into glucose and enter the bloodstream. As the sugar levels rise, the body senses it and the pancreas secretes insulin to lower the sugar. This is insulin's second main function.
