6. Fight Back With Fitness
No-one expects you to immediately switch from couch potato to marathon runner, but increasing your levels of exercise and fitness is very important to keep blood glucose levels low and stable.
If you are not keen on organized fitness sessions or the gym you could increase the distance or frequency of walks, walk more briskly, or take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator when you are out and about.
Swimming and cycling are both excellent for all-round fitness, and of course don’t forget dancing is exercise too! Try a new sport, and for extra giggles persuade a friend to come along too.
You might find you enjoy your new fit self. You might even find you have that trim figure you’ve always wanted, you have more energy and you in general feel much healthier too.
Preventing and receiving prompt treatment for winter illnesses is particularly important if you have diabetes as there could be greater risks.
