Tip of the Week - ABCs of Diabetes

A1c test reveals what your average blood sugar has been running over the past 3 months. According to the National Institutes of Health, for every percentage point decrease in A1c, risk for eye, kidney, or nerve complications are reduced by 40%.

Blood pressure indicates risk for heart disease when elevated. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends a blood pressure less than 130/80 for those with Diabetes.

Cholesterol that is commonly called the bad cholesterol is known as LDL cholesterol. This bad cholesterol increases risk for heart disease. The ADA recommends a LDL cholesterol level below 100 mg/dl for those with Diabetes.

Ask for these tests at your next doctor's visit.

Greg's Exercise Tips

@greg_carlson

Exercise - The All Natural Remedy

Minimize impact on joints with shoes designed for your activity. If you walk for exercise, purchase walking shoes (and if you jog or run purchase running shoes). Shoes designed for a specific activity can help prevent injury to joints and reduce foot, ankle, and knee stress. Replace running and walking shoes every three months. *Tennis shoes & cross-trainer shoes are not the same as running shoes and walking shoes.
