Diabetes Type 2 Support Group

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...

wt is your experience?

any exercise will help control the numbers and that would be a good habit to develop after your meals. We will take the dogs for a walk in the evenings or will play ball with the one dog who has an obsession over balls lol...

you can try taking your reading before you go and after, but there can be no guarantee truthfully to say the walk did lower since your body can already have been coming down. but either way exercise does help the whole body so do keep doing it
