Q:

How can strength training impact my blood sugar?

A:

Strength training can help you build your muscles. When you add muscle mass, you improve your body's sensitivity to insulin, and your blood sugar decreases as a result. If you have any medical conditions, it is important to visit your physician to be cleared for a strength training program.

Q:

Injecting Insulin Properly - Frequently Asked Questions

A:

We’re often asked why the FIT recommendations include 4-, 5- and 6-millimetre needles when we know that the shorter the better. Well, we have to do that because people across the country don’t necessarily have access to 4-millimetre needles, so we really want them to be using the shortest needle possible.
