I developed Type 2 six years ago and started a running regimen.  Not your situation, but in the process I developed an athletic heart, and no meds needed ....yet.\n\nI choose running because it developed blood circulation in the legs.

Exercising for one hour gives people best results.  After 30 minutes your heart rate just begins to kick in.

Actually the very best program for anyone is simply walking.  Take a walk. Work at increasing the time, distance walking.  This is the easiest and healthiest exercise there is.  And it is never a waste of time.\n\nMost importantanly, a sound mind in a sound body.  When we exercise we are keeping our body fit and trim.  The key is to do this regularly, like every day.

The best place to start your quest for a diabetic diet plan is with your doctor. Ask your doctor to refer you to a registered dietician or nutritionist. These people are trained and specialize in meal planning and diet regulation. They can help you come up with a meal plan that is unique to your individualized nutritional needs. \nSome basic pointers:\n-- Avoid the high sugar foods. Don't cut out sugar all together, but keep it to a minimal amount. Your body actually needs sugar to make energy. Avoid soft drinks, but if you are a soft drink junky, settle for diet over regular. Water is the best thing though. \n-- Avoid high carb foods. \n-- Avoid high cholesterol / high fat foods. High cholesterol goes hand-in-hand with diabetes.\n-- Avoid high sodium foods / salt. High blood pressure is another sister-syndrome of diabetes. \n\nExercise along with eating a healthy and balanced diet. Just a little exercise (around 30 minutes a day) can greatly increase your metabolic rate and increase your energy level. By adding this minimal amount to your daily routine, you will be surprised at your drop in blood glucose levels, etc. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

If your blood sugars have been high You need to increase the insulin but it is of the utmost importance you consult with a dr about that. Please pay no attention to what the previous person had ro say regarding remeding your diabetes.  Type 1 diabetes is a very dangerous disorder to screw around with & you must remain under a medical dr.'s care. Good luck.

hi im a personal trainer.\nthe best exercises would be by doing exercises concentrating on the abs.such as sit ups, it will no take you long to do about 50 st ups each day. if these begin to get boring or too easy try ab crunches. another really good exercise is the reverse plank, (can be hard to hod for long time). or you could try when you lie on a flat surface on your back ars by your side, lift your feet 5-10 inches above the floor hold for 15 seconds and repeat 10 tims (twice daily). this will only take you about 5 minutes out of a 24 hour day! definately worth it.\n\nhttp://exercise.about.com/od/abs/ss/abexercises_10.htm (it might help)\n\nGood luck.

Go to physical therapy.  If just for one visit they can show you the proper exercises and what not to do to prevent the condition from worsening.

Treadclimbers and stairclimbers should give similar results to a treadmill.  Ellipticals are still the exercise equipment of choice, due to their low impact cardio workout and upper body toning.  I've only heard of users hurting their ankles on ellipticals that don't have pivoting foot pads.  Rowers are also excellent since they provide a no impact cardio workout, while giving you upper body toning.  Exercise bikes are also a consideration, but you won't have any upper body toning.

leg lifts backwards.\nstrap the weights onto your ankle, lean forward onto the back of a chair and lift your leg (straightened) backward. this will isolate your gluts. do 10 reps of 5 lifts for each leg.

From Type I diabetes there really isn't anything you can do.\n\nFor Type II ... avoid becoming obese.  You need to stay active and healthy.  If you have a family history of Type II diabetes you need to be very careful about keeping your weight within a healthy range, avoid drinking alcohol in excess, and stay active.

Hi Sylvestor\n\nHere are some ideas to healp your healing process. You can cure yourself, but it does take some effort. #8 is the most important. You must detoxify your body of toxins with a cleansing program (colon and liver especially).\n\nQuick Action Plan for Diabetes\n\n\n1. Be aware for early signs of blood sugar problems. Have the proper yearly tests performed.\n\n2. Keep in mind that the goal of diabetic treatment and self-care is to restore blood sugar levels close to normal and to correct related metabolic disorders. One of the best ways to accomplish this is by eating small, frequent meals throughout the day that emphasize fresh, organic foods that are low on the glycemic scale, such as raw and lightly steamed vegetables, low sugar whole fruits, nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes, yams, wild fish, poultry, lean cuts of beef, bison meal lamb or veal.\n\n3. Minimize or eliminate your intake of simple carbohydrates and all sugars, as well as tobacco and processed "junk foods." In addition, reduce your intake of alcohol and caffeine. Both alcohol and caffeine could be enjoyed on special occasions, rather than daily or even weekly habits.\n\n4. Remain hydrated; drinking adequate quantities of pure water is essential for all aspects of your health.\n\n5. Engage in regular light exercise and stress reduction because they are keys to maintaining lower levels of blood sugar.\n\n6. Consider supplementing with nutrients such as B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, chromium, magnesium, potassium, essential fatty acids, CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, and vanadium. Stabilized rice bran supplements can also be helpful.\n\n7. Herbs such as astragalus, bitter melon, fenugreek, garlic, ginseng, Gymnema sylvestre, and huerque can also provide significant benefits.\n\n8. If you have already developed Type I or Type II diabetes, combine the above self-care natural cures with professional care from a holistically oriented physician or other alternative health care practitioner. Particularly useful professional care therapies for treating and preventing diabetes include chelation therapy, food allergy testing, parasite testing and if necessary, cleansing, oxygen therapy, and professional dietary and nutritional counseling. Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine can also be helpful.\n\n9. Prevention, if you are pre-disposed and managing a diabetic condition, is a life-long commitment. By committing to the guidelines above, you can significantly improve your symptoms, and, if you suffer from Type II diabetes, quite possibly reverse them altogether. Implementing diet and lifestyle changes can help improve your energy levels, and your confidence in your ability to experience greater health. \n\nBest of health to you\n\nCheers

Elliptical trainers are the best form of aerobic exercise. It burns more calories in the time allotted. It is low-impact - meaning it is easy on your joints and if you use arm movement elliptical trainers you work the upper body at the same time. Stair climbing is a great form of aerobic exercise but only recommended for fit people. Walking is the cheapest and easiest form of aerobic exercise. \n\nYou should exercise 20-30 minutes at 65-80% Heart Rate capacity. That would be calculated by subtracting your age from 220 then multiplying that number by .65 and .85\nFor example a 25 year old calculation would look like this: 220-25=195bpm 195 x.65= 126bpm 195 x.85 = 165bpm. Therefore, the 25 year old should keep their heart rate in between 126-165 beats per minute.  Keep your heart rate in between these two numbers and you are effectively burning calories.\n\nGood luck!

Swimming is the best exercise. Do stomach crunchs (where you go up half way) to flatten your tummy.
