We all know someone with Diabetes.
The statistics are shocking. Diabetes effects 5% of the entire adult population (over age 20) and a staggering 25% of our senior population. Chances are, you know a loved one struggling with this disease.
Recently diagnosed? Now what?
You can't tackle this without proper medical supervision. Your health care provider will be your first resource. He or she will provide you with a diet to follow, tell you lose weight and maybe provide medications to help you get your sugar under control. All that is great, but there is a catch. If you don't understand what is happening inside your body, it is really hard to figure out what to eat, when to eat, how much and what kind of physical activity you need to be doing.
Eating smart and adding daily physical activity will give you the best chance to keep your blood sugar level in a healthy range and keep it there.
About Cindy Crowninshield, RDN, LDN, HHC will be visiting to talk nutrition while Bob Savin, Owner of FT Ashland and ACSM Certified Personal Trainer will handle the exercise aspect.
