Take Steps to Improve Your Health and Manage Diabetes
Did you know that over 37 million Americans are living with type 2 diabetes? If you are living with diabetes, LII can help you find ways to effectively manage and improve your health so you can live your best life. But just because you haven’t been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be paying attention. Record numbers of Americans are showing symptoms of pre-diabetes and other complications. This November, during Diabetes Awareness Month, explore ways to improve your health by taking action against diabetes.
Get Moving
It’s no secret that physical activity and exercise deliver a wide range of benefits for everyone. For those seeking to manage or be proactive in avoiding type 2 diabetes, muscle movement is key. Even if you’re not up for strenuous exercise, a 10-minute walk following a meal may make a notable difference in your glucose levels.
Replace Carbs with Veggies
Rather than getting obsessive about counting macros, consider which vegetables you can sub in where you typically eat carbs. Starting your meal with a salad and adding in a veggie side is a great place to start. Experiment by trying unique seasonal vegetables, and you might just discover some new favorites!
