So without diabetes would you be immortal?And for every 90 year old how many dead people are there.
The last thing I need is anyone lecturing me about a sense of mortality.
perfectly healthy T1s
I prefer to call them awesome drugs - as without them I (and many others) would've been dead well before you were bornPerfectly healthy people are not forced to take horrible awful drugs on pain of death.
Hi Diabetes family,
I am quite a new diabetic at around 6 months since being first diagnosed, I've put my weight back on, currently my normal weight before being struck with diabetes and my b/g levels have been great with my Hba1c dropping from a 146 to a 46 from October to January.
Now, I want to challenge myself to get back active and exercising again, since I feel much better and have adjusted properly to the insulin I'm taking.
I've always enjoyed sport and keeping fit so I just challenged myself to go to the gym today and had a very good light session, which I enjoyed but wanted to know any tips from you guys about how to exercise whilst keeping my diabetes well managed.
Any tips, feel free to drop any advice as it would be much appreciated and helpful!
Regards
I was diagnosed 11 years ago. Great shock ! I was determined that I would control it without recourse to drugs , insulin etc. I lost three & a half stone (diet). I ate a lot more healthily - & a big cut in the amount I ate. I stepped up my exercise to at least 4 one & a half sessions each week. I exercise fairly intensely - weights, strength, cardio, stretch & floor exercises. I walk at least 2000 steps each day ( fast pace). I have kept all of this up for the last eleven years. For the last three I have been on the Michael Mosley 800 cal. no carb. diet ( slightly relaxed after the first 6 months). I am six feet three inches tall, weigh twelve stone 4 pounds ( have been for 11 years). My age is 68. My hbA1c is 35 & my regular blood checks are never above 7.0 after meals ( usually well below). I have never had to have any drug or insulin treatment whatsoever. My BP is 115 / 60 & resting BPM 45. Cholesterol 4.5. Make what you will of all this, but I KNOW that what I have done has been totally effective.
Just get down the gym & exercise hard ( clear it with medics). Go on the Mosley diet (food is delicious & plentiful). Watch what you eat. Simple !
