My Diabetic Self Is Still Here, Just Hit A Bit Of A Bump
Okay, so I know that I said I would be in full effect as of yesterday, but.. I lied. It seems that my lil’ one, the one that had surgery last week, has developed a big fat infection at her operative site and is having a very rough time. I feel so darn bad for her, she is only 5, but she has been a trooper. This morning, her temperature was 104.7 and she was still trying to smile at me!
I am a bit stressed to say the least and unfortunately I’ve had to cut something out, which has been writing. Kids, work, wife, house, life… you know how it goes. I did have a sec to peek around the “normal” areas of research and fun facts and did find one study that was worth a read.
It seems that doing both aerobic and resistance exercise improved glycemic and blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes more than 2 fold. The greatest improvements came from combined aerobic and resistance training. So, don’t just get on that elliptical, grab a dumbbell too! Even light weight resistance is better than none. Read the entire article here…
I am praying that my lil’ girl will feel better tomorrow and life will get back to normal, it has to soon! So check back in for my daily dose of “diabetic fun”. And wish me luck tonight, come on sleep!!
