Featured Article: "What's the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes?"
Type 1 Diabetes is a less common form of diabetes, affecting 5-10% of cases. Those with Type 1 do not produce insulin and must inject the hormone. Type 2 Diabetes is much more common, affecting 90-95% of cases. People with Type 2 do produce insulin but the hormone is not very effective. Research is looking at lifestyle risk factors leading up to Type 2 diagnosis...
Type 1 versus Type 2
E-mails to Christine:
My glucose tolerance test was at 105 - how high/low is that compared to acceptable levels?
Exercise Tip:
Minimize impact on joints with shoes designed for your exercise/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.
