People with diabetes that like to get out, exercise and be active are always on the go. This is absolutely one of the best ways to help people without diabetes or with pre-diabetes prevent it. It is also a good way for those with diabetes to control it and help prevent complications.

The best advice I can give anyone, especially with diabetes, is to move. One of the worst things you can do to yourself is to be inactive.

Motion, Activity, Exercise and Diabetes – What to Know

Always consult your physician before making drastic changes in your lifestyle.

If an exercise program is new to you, or it has been a long period of time since you exercised on a regular basis, discuss this with your doctor and get blood sugar levels that you need to target, high or low during the duration of your active exercise sessions.

As a diabetic, you should get at least 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity at least most days of the week. This activity along with a healthy diet will help to keep your weight down, lower your blood sugar levels and help lower your risk of heart problems.

Doctors will generally recommend aerobic type exercises for diabetics. Aerobic exercise makes you breathe deeply and also makes your heart work harder.

Some good examples of aerobic exercise are:
walking
jogging
aerobic dance
bicycling

Whatever type of exercise you choose, always warm up for 5 to 10 minutes first and cool down when you are done. A good way to warm up is to do gentle walking or stretching. You should always stretch for 5 to 10 minutes before and after your exercise sessions.

As exercise tends to lower your blood sugar level, it is always a good idea to check your levels before you start and when you get done. If you are exercising for extended periods, check you blood sugar levels every 30 minutes or so. Hyperglycemia is low blood sugar and is dangerous. If your sugar levels are to low, wait until they are at a normal level before you start. If you begin to feel changes in your heartbeat, sudden sweat, shaky, anxious or sudden hunger, you blood sugar level is most likely dropping to low. Stop exercising and follow the plan you and your doctor made for combating hyperglycemia. Keep a snack handy!

Always wear shoes that fit properly. Do every thing you can to prevent sores and/or blisters on your feet. As diabetics tend to heal slowly, infections can easily set in.

Drink plenty of fluids before, during and after your exercise sessions. Dehydration can affect your blood sugar levels.

Always Move – Always Be Prepared

You don't have to be fat, you just have to drink lots of Kangen water.

Ralph Morton — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:45:32 +0000

Don't Drink the wrong kind of WATER.

Over 60% of the population of North America are FAT.

This should be earth shattering news, but somehow we feel it is not…..

I want you to give some thought to these two questions.

When we went to high school, do you re-call many kids fat, or did you lose any of your friends to cancer?

The first answer is not many, the second, no.

Yet today, just look around, It is ridiculous what is happening.

Most of us blame Fast Food outlets, and lack of exercise for the young. But is that really the real reason, I am sad to say it isn't, because of the environment we live in.

We all are breathing in toxins, toxins are in the water we drink and the food we eat. Unless we find a way to flush out those toxins we will become ill and also grow very fat.

Dr. Otto Warberg received the Nobel Prize for discovering the cause of cancer - this being lack of oxygen which is low alkaline pH. No disease can exist in an alkaline environment. Japanese medicine has proven this over the last 15 years.

He says no disease can exist in an alkaline body. Obesity is a disease, so with this information all we need to do is bring our pH level to slightly higher than 7.365. Simple as that.

So let's find out further what we have to avoid..

Yes Bottled Water.

See the results below.

Acid or Alkaline?

ACIDIC WATER - A water condition which has a pH lower than 7.0
ALKALINE WATER - A water condition which has a pH higher than 7.0


Acidic (Dasani)	Acidic (Evian)	Acidic (Poland Spring) )

Acidic
(Aquafina)

Slightly Acidic
(Tap Water)

Alkaline
(Kangen Water)

ACID and ALKALINE
water carries more hydrogen than hydroxyl ions, it is said to be ACID; when hy
Our blood system is always working to keep itself at that narrow range of pH 7.3 to 7.45. This process is called homeostasis.

When we drink a popular soft drink like colas, which has an acidic pH of 2.5, the bloodstream does not lower itself to that level.Rather, the sugars and other elements in the drink are processed by the blood into acid wastes: some are eliminated, and others are stored at various locations in the body.

new theory of Aging

Modern medicine has not been able to answer the «Why We Age? » question. Yet another theory of aging and illness has been around for a long time.
It has been voiced by natural healing practitioners all over the world, in America, Asia, and Europe . Briefly, this theory holds that aging (and many diseases) results from the accumulation of acid waste products in the body.

WHAT CAUSES ACID WASTES BUILD-UP

Bad diet can cause acid wastes to be stored in the body. A meat and potato diet, for example, can cause the body to become more acidic.When acid waste enter the bloodstream, the blood, in order to maintain that narrow pH range (7.35 pH to 7.45 pH), must store these wastes somewhere.
These wastes, lodged in the body

over decades, will overburden the whole system. Drink Kangen water to rid the body of wastes.

WHAT CAUSES ACID WASTES

Bad Diets

includes meat and potatoes, fried food, soft drink colas, sucrose and other sugars build up acid salts in the body.
Often these deposits by having to be stored away from blood flow, can remain in the body for decades.

Stress, both mental and physical, can also form acid deposits in the body. Mental stress can make you feel depressed.While the physiology, scientific connection to stress in the body has not been completely established, there exists a school of thought in psychology,
called psychosomatics, which maintains that your mental state will influence health. Doctors in Japan, following more than forty years of research and testing, believe that daily drinking of alkaline water can lift depression.

As we have said before, the body uses the bloodstream system to dispose of wastes; these are removed in liquid form, and are often deposited in the lungs and kidneys.

If there are too many wastes to handle, they are deposited in various organ systems, like the heart, or the pancreas, or the liver, or the colon, or in other locations.

Sometimes these wastes are left on the walls of arteries, and over the years can spread throughout the body.

The break-down of this disposal process, especially of acid wastes, is how we define the aging process.
To slow down and reverse this direction, one must begin removing acid wastes from the body.

The best way we have found to do this is to drink Kangen water. This water, having a pH of between 8.5 and 9.5 , will first neutralize harmful stored acid wastes, and if you consume it every day, will gently remove them from your body. Yet, since the water is ionized, it will not leach out valuable alkaline minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, or sodium.

Japanese doctors have treated their patients for over four decades with alkaline water. They believe that the immune system looses its power to throw off disease when the body becomes too acidic.They advocate drinking Kangen water.

Asian medicine assigns two categories to human diseases: communicable and adult. Contagious or communicable diseases are caused by viruses and bacteria.
Influenza, the common cold, aids, plagues, all fall into this category, and medical doctors are quite proficient at treating them. Adult diseases include heart disease, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, gout, arthritis, kidney diseases, hemorrhoids, asthma, hay fever, allergies, obesity, tooth and gum disease, skin disorders, and many others.

They are cause by poor circulation, by deficient cellular activity, and by the accumulation of acid wastes in the body. Asian medicine says that many adult diseases can be treated by alkalizing the bloodstream.

Medicine of America does not attempt to remove acid wastes from physiological system; so todays modern medicine is rather deficient in treating adult diseases even if the medicine cures the disease, if acids are not removed from the body, the

treatments effectiveness will at best only be temporary.

If you visit here, you will read how we are eating oil, fertilizer, and chlorine, these toxins enter our bodies, simply by eating vegetables.

The important message we are must get from this, we must cleanse and flush these from our bodies.

One could take a regular body cleanse, however, this way we are forever having to be on a diet, whereas, if you drink an alkaline water, the cleanse would be continual.

To understand why we get fat by digesting toxins, we must realize the body in it's wisdom needs to protect it's vital organs from the toxins, therefore, it builds fat around these organs, and as long as the toxins are around the body continues to build this fat. .

Just Me and Diabetes

Randy Wood — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 05:07:28 +0000

I started Diabetes-And-Me a little bit back, hoping to create a place to bring people together, to socialize, to learn and to help. It is personal to me as I see that there truly are real people out there that are wanting the same thing I want. Togetherness, support, to help others, answers to what I consider dark and scary questions about my diabetes.

I am no longer new to diabetes, yet I still struggle every day to keep balance. I think we all do. Some days are great, some not so. I have a lot to learn and a lot to share.

Till next time,

Randy Wood

Blood Glucose levels Testing High - What to do?

Randy Wood — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:26:27 +0000

By Randy Wood

I was reading in a forum the other day and one of the members wrote that their blood glucose levels were testing between 200-250 with continuous testing for the last month. They asked if they should go to the doctor or not.

Here is the exceprt:
«Been testing consistently at 200-250 for last month. I'm feeling ok but should I go anyways. I don't have insurance but maybe I need to go anyways. Suggestions???»

As always, you should follow what your doctor tells you to do, and a good doctor will have told you what to look for and what to consider an issue or an indicator that you may need help.

Desirable Blood glucose levels should be set for you by your doctor. A standard rule of thumb is listed below. But Please see your doctor to make yours personal based on your needs.

Desirable blood glucose levels?

Everyone has some glucose in their blood. People who don't have diabetes have a normal range of about 70 to 120. Blood glucose levels will go up after eating but return to the normal range 1 to 2 hours later.

Always ask your doctor when you should check your blood glucose with a meter. Find out whether the targets listed below are best for you or not. Then you and your doctor can set your personal targets.

BGL (blood glucose targets) for most people with diabetes:
Before meals should range between 90 to 130 and 1 to 2 hours after the start of a meal should be less than 180.

Find out what your target BGL's should be, document them and know them.

My suggestion to anyone with continuous blood glucose level numbers outside of your care teams designated numbers, GO see your doctor!
