I was wondering if any diabetics (T1 or T2) work as fitness instructors, either part time or full time?
I'm still trying to get into the habit of regular exercise (I enjoy it, just lack motivation to do it around work), and was wondering how feasible it would be to be diabetic and either work as a fitness trainer or take classes (either fitness or dance) as a way of keeping active on a daily basis. I doubt I'd be trying for full time hours, however the idea of being qualified to teach something, and running a few evening classes a week does quite appeal.
I'd imagine it would be possible, especially on a part time basis, but would love to hear from any people who are currently doing it - benefits, drawbacks etc
