Aside from taking medications, extra measures that can be used in helping diabetic persons may include exercise, diet and as well managing physical and emotional stress. the components of what we eat can contribute to the increase in the insulin level so a well balanced diet should be taken, the best way to do it is to consult a dietitician. exercise can also really help a lot because it has an effect in lowering blood glucose and as well reducing cardiovascular risk faCtors. it also improves circulation and muscle tone.But be sure to properly monitor your blood sugar level especially when taking your medications.

You write on a piece of paper that i will do exercise, and read it at least 20 times a day, believe me you will hypnotise yourself and start doing exercises.

Your right, motivating one self to exercise is quite difficult. Though i am not fat, i do go to the gym to toned my body and i took me almost a year to become motivated specially doing all the liftings and stretchings. For you to be motivated to exercise, maybe you can start by just walking for how many miles and then try other sports like badminton or swimming (its a cardiovascular exercise) which is good for your heart. Just think of the results and always be optimistic.

Well i have not been suffering from diabetes but my grandfather and grandmother had this. I have watched them do these extra measures and they are very regular at this. They also strongly believe that yoga had its own power and is very useful.

Yes, recently a very uncommon product has launched at my place that has a very effective action against diabetes as reports and authorities say. For more information, you may message me on this with your E-mail address. I am quite sure, it will work. Thanks.
