Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

I take Diltiazem ER to keep a happy rhythm, as I stated in an earlier post I have to do chair exercise now that I am on oxygen.

You might ask your Doctor what kind of exercise would be best for you.

I don't have A-fib but my hubby does ...his is uncontrolled and he actually has side effects, he can tell when he is in A-fib just by the way he feels. He will exercise but usually just uses the tread mill and walks at a slower pace.

They did put him on Tikosyn to try and control but he has been shocked 3 times since being on it (total times cardioverted - 10 !) but his symptoms are easier to handle with the med

I know many people can live with A-fib for years with no problem or changes to their daily routine but do make sure you talk with yor cardio first and see what they say.
