Excellent post "10 Ways Exercise Prevents or Manages Diabetes"

Here's the first couple:

  1. Physical activity helps you manage weight. You need to include a sensible eating program, but weight loss improves your ability to process glucose and ward off diabetes.
  2. Exercise uses glucose stored in muscle and, over time and with increased fitness, enhances the amount of glucose you can store, lowering blood glucose in the process.

Definitely check out this article.  There's lots of good info out there about the link between type 2 diabetes and wellness. 

"For 30 minutes a day, five days a week, to go for a walk with your spouse doesn't seem to me to be asking the impossible," said lead researcher Dr. David Nathan of Massachusetts General Hospital.

If you're looking for something a little more intensive or dedicated, or f you're ready to make a change that will help you be healthy and stop the diet roller coaster, contact me.  We'll find the program that's right for you.
