Exercise is a vital part of the management of diabetes. All diabetics should aim to make exercise a part of their daily routine. Exercise can help to improve the quality of life for diabetics. But there are some safeguards to consider before you start an exercise regime. It is wise to consult your health professional before you begin. This would be true for anyone, but it is especially so for someone who suffers from diabetes.
There are two types of diabetes. Type 1 usually manifests itself at an early age. It is sometimes referred to as adolescent diabetes. In Type 1 the body cannot produce enough of its own insulin. Type 2 diabetes manifests itelf later in life. In Type 2 diabetes the body fails to produce adequate levels of insulin or it becomes resistant to its own insulin.
In both types of diabetes the body is unable to process sugar properly. Blood sugar levels increase because the body cannot transport sugar to the cells where it is needed. It becomes essential to reduce blood sugar levels. This can be done by medication, by diet and by exercise.
Exercise can, therefore, be a valuable tool in diabetes management. This is true for both types of diabetes. Whether an individual has Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes they can benefit from exercise.
Type 1 diabetics will benefit from exercise because it can assist in the maintainance of insulin sensitivity and increases the use of glucose by the muscles. Exercise will also help to avoid excessive weight gain. Type 1 diabetes cannot be cured, but some of the health problems associated with it can be reduced by means of exercise.
Type 2 diabetics will also benefit from exercise. Type 2 diabetes is preventable and exercise will help in its prevention. Even such a simple activity as a 30 minute walk every day can reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
To sum up: exercise will reduce blood sugar levels and help maintain insulin sensitivity. It will also improve circulation. This is important for diabetics because they are known to have circulatory problems. Diabetics often suffer from poor circulation in the legs and feet. Exercise helps to promote blood circulation. Regular exercise will also help to lower blood pressure and so reduce the risk of stroke.
There are, however, certain risks associated with exercise for diabetics. Since exercise lowers blood sugar diabetics must measure their blood sugar levels before and after exercise. The body will use more sugar during exercise and become more sensitive to insulin. Exercise can potentially result in hypoglycemia. Checking blood sugar levels will avoid this danger. With this precaution the benefits of exercise will outweigh the possible risks.
A diabetic should also take care to carry candy or fruit juice with them during exercise in case their blood sugar falls too low. They should make sure to inform the staff at the gym or their exericise partners that they are diabetic. An exericse buddy is a good idea for anyone but doubly so for a diabetic. Exercising with a friend can help maintain your motivation and for a diabetic it can help avoid the dangers of your blood sugar falling too low.
Watch out for the tell tale signs of low blood sugar level. Check your heart rate after exercise. Are you sweating abnormally, shaking, or feeling very hungry? These can all be signs of low blood sugar.
The general rule for everyone beginning exercise is to take things slowly. For diabetics this should be emphasised. Build up your routine as your level of fitness improves. Set yourself realistic goals. Begin with short sessions of gentle exercise. Gradually move on to more ambitious targets are you feel confident to do so. There is not need to push yourself to the point of exhaustion. Little and often is the best plan.
Successful incorporation of exercise into your daily routine will significantly improve your quality of life as a diabetic. It will help you manage your condition and avoid many of the health problems associated with diabetes.

DIABETES EXERCISES

How does exercise help diabetes?

Exercise is a great way to help control weight and it also lowers the blood sugar level. It also lowers a person’s risk of heart disease – a condition that is very common in people who have diabetes.

Exercise can also help you feel better about yourself and increase your overall health.

What kind of exercises to be done?

There are no specific exercises for one to do. Choose any cardio exercise (walking, running, cycling, aerobics, skating, warm-ups and cool-downs, tennis, etc.) – anything that increases the heart rate.

Aerobic exercise strengthens the heart and keeps the exerciser’s muscles warm. Strength training builds stamina, while improving both joints and muscles. Warm-ups and cool-downs are essential for the safety of the exerciser.

No matter what kind of exercise one does, make sure to warm up before starting, and cool down when done. To warm up, spend 5 to 10 minutes doing a low-intensity exercise such as walking.

Then gently stretch for another five to ten minutes. Repeat these steps after exercising to cool down.

When you start an exercise program, go slowly. Gradually increase the intensity and length of the workout as one gradually gets more fit.

Consult a doctor about what kind of exercise is right for you, depending on whether one has any other health problems.

1. Aerobic exercise -

Aerobic exercise helps increase heart rate, as well as breathing rate. This makes one breathe more deeply and also makes the heart work harder. It is best to aim for a total of about 30 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week. Here are some examples of aerobic exercises:

· Take a brisk walk either outside or on a treadmill

· Dance classes

· Swimming

· Jogging

· Roller-skating

· Tennis or badminton

· Indoor stationary bicycle

2. Strength training -

Strength training, done several times a week, helps build strong bones and muscles. Some ways to do it:

· Join a gym to do strength training with weights.

· Lift light weights at home

3. Flexibility exercises -

Flexibility exercises, also called stretching, helps keep joints flexible and reduces the chances of injury during other activities. Gentle stretching for 5 to 10 minutes helps the body to warm up, as well as get ready for aerobic activities.

4. Be on the move throughout the day -

Being active helps burns calories. The more you move around, the more energy one will have.

« Walk instead of driving whenever possible.

« Take the stairs instead of the elevator

« Work in the garden or do some housecleaning every day

« Walk to the market; park your car ½ kilometer before the market.

Are there any risks associated with exercising for people with diabetes?

There are some mild risks, but the benefits far outweigh the risks. So, its necessary to moderately exercise daily the right way.

Exercise changes the way in which the body reacts to insulin. Regular and strenuous exercise makes the body more sensitive to insulin, and thus, the blood sugar level may suddenly get too low after exercising.

Therefore, it is important to check the blood sugar level before and after exercising, and follow the doctor’s advice as suggested for low blood sugar.

If the blood sugar level is too low or too high right before one starts exercising, it is better to wait until the level improves, and normalizes.

It is also important to keep a check on blood sugar level if exercising in extreme hot or cold conditions, because temperature affects how the body absorbs insulin.

Should one drink plenty of fluids during exercising?

Yes. While exercising, our body uses more fluid to keep the body temperature cool. Therefore, by the time one feels thirsty, he may already be getting dehydrated. Dehydration can seriously affect the blood sugar level in the body.

Drink plenty of fluids, water before, during and after exercise.

What safety tips to follow while exercising?

Exercise can affect and lower the blood sugar level, so pay attention to possible warning signs during workout such as:

· Sudden change in heartbeat

· if one starts sweating more

· feels shaky, anxious or hungry

· feeling weak or dizzy

If you feel this way, stop exercising and check out on a doctor. It might be hypoglycemia or low blood sugar. It is normally recommended to keep candy, glucose biscuits or juice nearby to treat hypoglycemia.

Exercise tips for people with diabetes:

· Talk to the doctor about the right exercise for you.

· Check blood sugar level before and after exercising.

· Wear the proper shoes and socks, so as to avoid infection and blisters.

· Drink plenty of fluid before, during and after exercising.

· Warm up before exercising and cool down afterward.

· Have some juice handy in case blood sugar level drops too low.

Hypnosis Works for Weight Loss

By C. Devin Hastings

Novel and Effective Weight Reduction Technique Does Not Require Pills, Patches, Supplements or Surgery and Can Easily Prevent Holiday Weight Gain.

Holiday weight gain is a problem for millions of Americans. Researchers at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) found that a large percentage of Americans who gain weight during the winter holiday season do not lose the extra weight. In fact, the weight accumulates over the years.

NICHD Director Duane Alexander, M.D. who noticed this troublesome trend states:

“These findings suggest that developing ways to avoid holiday weight gain may be extremely important for preventing obesity and the diseases associated with it.”

Devin Hastings, a researcher and international speaker on diabetes and the mind states: “During the holiday season, many people with diabetes face very tough challenges. Harmful eating habits and weight gain are dangerous and difficult problems for them. Because of this, I looked for safe answers that could help my diabetic and overweight clients.”

Devin’s research “led me to surprising clinical weight loss findings that can help not only diabetics but anyone who struggles with weight loss.”

As a result of his research and client successes, Devin created a very informative website for those who are dealing with obesity and weight loss challenges. This website, www.Weight-Loss-Answers.com (or www.WLA4U.com) contains information that has helped many of his clients to lose weight successfully and permanently.

“Safe, sustainable weight loss is an inside job. Diet pills, weight loss programs or even weight loss surgery can not do what really needs to be done”, says Devin who, 9 years ago, lost over 40 pounds using the method studied and validated by Harold B. Crasilneck, Ph.D. and James A. Hall, M.D.

What safe weight loss method did doctors Crasilneck and Hall confirm as effective? They found that: “Hypnotherapy can often help in treating obesity, an observation that is one of the most clinically confirmed in all the literature on hypnosis.”(1)

This statement is made more credible because these doctors did two important things: First, they conducted their own studies and second they conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis of a large number of other reliable hypnosis weight loss studies.

Although this evidence is extremely compelling Devin cautions: “Hypnosis is not a magic wand. Although some of my clients have easily lost a lot of weight in a very short period of time, most of the incredible changes I have seen my clients make are accomplished over time and with commitment.”

Is there other believable evidence that hypnosis can help people with diabetes and weight loss problems? Yes. In the July 2001 issue of Scientific American it states:

“A 1996 National Institutes of Health technology assessment panel judged hypnosis to be an effective intervention for alleviating pain from cancer and other chronic conditions.

Voluminous clinical studies also indicate that hypnosis can reduce the acute pain experienced by patients undergoing burn-wound debridement, children enduring bone marrow aspirations and women in labor.

A meta-analysis published in a recent special issue of the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, for example, found that hypnotic suggestions relieved the pain of 75 percent of 933 subjects participating in 27 different experiments. The pain-relieving effect of hypnosis is often substantial, and in a few cases the degree of relief matches or exceeds that provided by morphine.” (2)

If severe pain can be controlled by hypnosis then one can imagine weight loss cravings also being controlled by hypnosis.

Also, given the dubious safety and effectiveness of diet pills and the hazards of invasive and often ineffective surgery, one must wonder why, if hypnosis is so obviously effective for pain management, why isn’t it used before drastic and very expensive steps for weight loss are taken?

And, since hypnosis has been proven to have the ability to match or exceed the power of morphine then one must wonder how much better hypnosis is than diet pills and diet patches.

Who has used hypnosis to change their lives for the better? A number of people. Internet research has revealed the following well-known people have benefited from the use of hypnosis:

–Sondra Ray, author of The Only Diet There Is and several other best sellers.

–Tom Mankiewicz, the super talent who wrote “Superman the Movie”

–Beau Upchurch, a power-house pitcher for the Dodgers baseball team.

Devin Hastings also states: ” I can absolutely assure you of 2 things: (1) Someone will change their life for the better now because they have just discovered that intelligent and accomplished people have successfully used hypnosis. (2) It is far easier and cheaper to hypnotically prevent weight gain than it is to lose weight.”

Hypnosis has been proven to help anyone use the power of their mind in a positive, life changing manner. This fact is clinically confirmed and, interestingly some of society’s most successful have used hypnosis.

As a self-improvement method, hypnosis is worth serious investigation—especially during the holiday season which is a time of great stress, weight gain, short tempers and holiday blues.
