Tip of the Week:
Keeping a blood sugar log (booklet or handheld device) can help with diabetes management.
Track:
- date & test time,
- blood sugar reading,
- food consumed, if testing after a meal - (note larger portions
than usual or alcohol consumed), and
- any notes regarding what could be impacting your blood sugar (ie:
feeling sick or just exercised).
A log can help you and your healthcare team understand how well your diabetes is being controlled and make any necessary adjustments.

Type 2 Diabetes is much more common, affecting 90-95% of cases. People with Type 2 do produce insulin but the hormone is not very effective. Research is looking at lifestyle risk factors leading up to Type 2 diagnosis...
Type 1 versus Type 2
Exercise Tip:
Include time to stretch before and after exercise.
Stretching before exercise helps to reduce risk for injury and increases range of
motion. Stretching after
exercise helps alleviate soreness and stiffness.
