What's worked for me, for over 15 years: I walk 30 minutes most days, not
at a fast pace, but a steady pace. I also do 10-15 minutes of strength
training a few days a week. Overtime, I have lost 40 pounds and managed my
glucose levels with diet and exercise only. I saw a diabetic educator and
dietician and follow their advice, I have a meal plan that allows a certain
level of carb-exchanges for each meal. My carb choices are based upon the
Glycemic Index, where I chose carbs with a low GI that raise glucose levels
slowly.


Well Done!!! You have done brilliantly!!!

When spinal stenosis made exercise very difficult, I was fortunate to find a
local chiropractor who treats stenosis using the Renuva procedures. It is
expensive (Medicare paid for only about half); but, at least for me,
miraculous; after 2 and a half months of twice weekly treatments, I have no
further symptoms. A single monthly visit (not very expensive) maintains my
current, no pain, situation.

Before I had the Renuva treatments, I continued to walk, at a stroll, as far
as I could, then take break and go again. Doing what your body allows,
consistently, is all you can do; just do it repeatedly.

Once again.... well done)
