Thank you for your reply, but I am sure he can help you find alternatives to walking at the mall just as long as you are walking somewhere. Give him a call and let him know. Diabetes is his field of research so he is very eager to see people healthy. Thanks and have a blessed day!

Every 30 seconds, somewhere in the world, someone loses a lower limb as a result of diabetes. That's because diabetes and wounds are a dangerous combination.

My father could have been a "poster child" for taking care of yourself when you have diabetes. He had it, but NEVER took care of it, and refused to go on insulin for decades. Before he died, he was blind and in a wheel chair because he couldn't feel his legs from the knees down! It's a HORRIBLE disease, that is also a silent killer!

I don't qualify for this study because my A1C is 5.4. I wish everyone in this study much success.

If you have high blood pressure or are overweight, modifying your lifestyle habits may help in type 2 diabetes prevention. Your doctor can make specific recommendations that are right for you including diet changes and specific exercises. Medications to help you quit smoking, lower your cholesterol, and lower your blood pressure help reduce your risk of complications.

In another study, the Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study Group, researchers reviewed the effects of weight loss, diet, and exercise on type 2 diabetes prevention in more than 500 people who were overweight and also had pre-diabetes or borderline diabetes with an impaired oral glucose tolerance test. They concluded that with changes geared at weight loss and improving physical activity levels, people at high risk of developing diabetes could reduce their risk of type 2 diabetes by more than 50%.

People with diabetes are more vulnerable to the millions of germs that live in your mouth and dental problems caused by them. As a result, people with diabetes are more likely to have infections of their gums and the bones that hold the teeth in place. Diabetes can also causes a decrease in blood supply to the gums making them more susceptible to disease. In addition, high blood sugar may cause dry mouth and make gum disease worse. The decrease in saliva can cause an increase in tooth decaying bacteria and plaque build up.

To prevent dental problems if you have diabetes, taking good care of your gums and teeth is very important. Here are some tips for preventing dental problems:
Have a dental checkup every six months.
Tell your dentist that you have diabetes and ask him or her to show you how to take proper care of your gums and teeth.
Brush and floss your teeth at least twice a day
If you smoke, quit.
Maintain good blood sugar control.

If severe gum disease develops, surgery may save your teeth. But if that's not possible, you may have to have teeth pulled to prevent the infection from destroying the bone around your teeth

High blood sugar in diabetes causes the lens of the eye to swell, which changes your ability to see. To correct this kind of eye problem, you need to get your blood sugar back into the target range (90-130 milligrams per deciliter or mg/dL before meals, and less than 180 mg/dL one to two hours after a meal). It may take as long as three months after your blood sugar is well controlled for your vision to fully get back to normal.
