How Effective is Exercise?
Diabetes…it’s a word that causes anxiety as we get older. Especially if it’s aimed at you from a doctor’s mouth. Sure, there are medications to help control it. But, what else can be done? Health professionals may recommend to their customers that exercise can help combat the ravages of diabetes, but how will they easily monitor how much it is helping? What are the particulars? This blog post aims to deliver what customers need to know about exercising and more importantly, how to measure the benefits of it with a state of the art bioscan system.
Let’s recap briefly about the different types of diabetes for clarification. As you know, Diabetes in general is a condition of high blood sugar that lasts over an extended period of time. There are 3 primary types of diabetes with some pretty big differences. Type 1 diabetes results when the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin whereas, in type 2 diabetes, the cells fail to respond to insulin (a condition known as insulin resistance). A lack of insulin usually also develops as the disease progresses. The third type can suddenly affect pregnant women and is not discussed here.
