What can exercise do for someone living with type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes?
While exercise is an essential component of good health for everyone, it can provide especially significant benefits for people living with diabetes. Regular physical activity burns calories and makes your body more sensitive to the insulin you produce. Both actions can help improve blood glucose management. People living with diabetes who exercise regularly may require less insulin or medication, since physical activity can lower blood glucose and weight. In addition, when you’re physically fit, you have the strength, flexibility, and endurance needed for your daily activities. Being active helps you feel better physically and mentally.
Why is Kathy Smith’s program unique?
By coordinating a basic, accessible workout with an easy-to-use meal plan, Kathy Smith has created a simple but effective all-in-one program to help people manage type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes.
Studies have shown that people with pre-diabetes can prevent or delay the development of type 2 diabetes through changes to their lifestyle that include weight loss and regular physical activity. Project:YOU! Type 2 provides a comprehensive introduction to fitness and wholesome eating. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to reduce their chances of getting diabetes, or who wants a moderate approach to getting in shape and living a healthy lifestyle.
