What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a disease that affects over 9 million Canadians and 25 million Americans. Diabetes occurs when the body has trouble either making or processing insulin. Insulin is the hormone that the body uses to allow sugar (glucose) from the food we eat to go into the cells to be used as energy. If the sugar cannot enter the cells with the help of insulin, it starts to build in the blood.
Can I exercise if I have diabetes?
Absolutely. If you are just recently diagnosed with diabetes, you should speak with your doctor about when you can safely exercise. If you have not begun your treatment plan, your diabetes may not be well controlled, and there may be some important precautions for you to take until your blood sugar levels are managed. Exercise can be an important part of your ongoing routine for managing your diabetes.
