Be Active! 


People with diabetes are often told to exercise to help lower their blood sugar.  I like to say "Be active". 

• Being active can be fun and enjoyable. 
• Even just walking is very helpful in lowering blood sugar levels. 
• Research shows that 3 short walks per day, (for 10 minutes each time), can help lower blood sugar levels. 
• Be active, but be "real".  You don't need to run a marathon to improve blood sugar levels.
• Walking works!

• See below on the benefits of adding 30 minutes of walking per day.
  

Walking Works!

"Interval" walking is walking faster for a few minutes, then walking slower for a few minutes. 
This increases the body's use of sugar in the blood.  A great way to lower blood sugar levels and increase fitness level.
