Ongoing Efforts in Managing Diabetes

Be sure to speak to your doctor openly and honestly about your dietary, exercise and "recreational" practices and habits. It will make a huge difference in how your approach to feeling better works for you. Proper diagnosis and treatment is key to improvement. Over time, it is natural for our bodies to develop into a process called insulin resistance. This occurs over cell development and emergence of systematic changes in our bodies' cellular demands. Excess insulin resistance causes diabetic incidences.



Search the web to find aerobic exercise that works best for you. What your friend or sibling does for exercise, might not be best for your body. Go with what feels comfortable and doesn't cause excessive pain. Never believe pain is a good thing. Pain is an indicator that your body isn't digging what's happening and PLEASE STOP DOING IT. Short lived (less than 48 hours) of muscle pain isn't a bad thing, but when you're experiencing full muscle strains and sprains, it's NOT acceptable. If you find yourself short of breath, stop and take a rest. If you have to take frequent rest periods when getting started, that's fine. Give your body the opportunity to adjust to this new activity you're sending it through. Do not take pain prescription pain medications which were not prescribed to you by YOUR physician. Your neighbor, your sibling, your cousin, your parents all have their own thing to deal with. Think of it as sharing underwear, WE JUST DON'T DO THAT!
