It's almost World Diabetes day and time for the Big blue test time again.
This year you can do more than one test.
Remember exercise can be anything active , walking, gardening, swimming, chair exercises, aerobics, running, climbing stairs, skipping...........
Those benefiting are impoverished/under served communities in the US (it was started by a US forum; horrific that there are so many in that country without good access to health care ) and (last year) the International charities were based in Ecuador and Haiti.
http://www.bigbluetest.org/Exercise is good for you. You know that. But did you know that the average Big Blue Tester has seen their blood glucose level drop 20% after 14-20 minutes of exercise?
And if that isn’t enough reason to get active, every time you enter a Big Blue Test you help us get one step closer to our goal of 20,000 entries. If we hit our goal, the program sponsor will donate $100,000 to organizations that provide life-saving supplies and services to people with diabetes in need
