The fitness guide no person with diabetes should be without
Nearly one in 11 people in the United States are affected by diabetes, a
staggering number with both personal and social costs. If you're one of
these millions of people with diabetes or prediabetes, the American
Diabetes Association recommends two types of physical activity as
primary components of your self-care: aerobic exercise and strength
training. Featuring everything from a starter walking plan to strength
and resistance training plans, Diabetes & Keeping Fit For Dummies
offers all the guidance and step-by-step instruction you need to make
exercise a priority in your diabetes management.
Exercise improves fitness, increases insulin sensitivity, maintains bone
health, helps in weight management, and improves sleep patterns. Who
can't benefit from those things? This informative, down-to-earth guide
shows you how to incorporate exercise into your routine, even if you
haven't been in a gym since high school.
- Ease your way into more physical activity

moving!
