[Diabetes-talk] chalenges

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

I completely agree.  Our bodies alert us when things are going awry, but far too often we fail to listen.  So much plays into good or bad readings and unfortunately diabetics have to listen closer than the average bear.

 

Stress is a huge factor in glucose readings.  Of course our diet is key.  Lately I have been deficient in iron and fat and so far my sugars have remained stable, but I can tell something is out of wack.  Exercise is equally important.  Even if you can't go jogging or walking or run on the tread-mill, there are activities that allow for some cardio.  Play it safe and always consult your doctor, but exercise should be a top priority for us diabetics.

 

Just like blindness, our diabetes is in our own hands.  We control what happens to us, and there are so many tools for us to accomplish being a successful diabetic.  Life happens, but we need to be as progressive as possible to attempt a balance.  What do I know, though, I've only been diabetic for 24 years.
