What is Type 2 diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes is a disease where your body can’t use energy from food properly. Your pancreas produces insulin (a hormone) to help your cells use glucose (sugar). Over time your pancreas makes less insulin and the cells resist the insulin.

This causes too much sugar to build up in your blood. High blood sugar levels from Type 2 diabetes can lead to serious health problems including heart disease, stroke or death.

Managing Diabetes at Home with the Retrofit effective exercise program

Management of type 2 diabetes includes:

Healthy eating
Regular exercise
Weight loss
Possibly, diabetes medication or insulin therapy
Blood sugar monitoring

These steps will help manage your blood sugar level closer to normal, which can delay or prevent future complications.

Healthier lifestyle to control Diabetes (Type 2)

The benefits of Exercise have been highlighted in many health articles and studies for individuals with diabetes.

Besides exercising to control weight, and raise healthy HDL cholesterol while lowering harmful LDL cholesterol, tailored exercises could help improve movement and mobility to enable daily functional activities to enhance the quality of life.

Particularly for diabetics, there are additional benefits where exercise helps lowers blood sugar glucose levels while boosting your body’s sensitivity to insulin, countering insulin resistance.

I have Carmelle as my Functional Trainer and I am very glad with such an arrangement as Carmelle is a very responsible and passionate trainer. She has this connecting disposition that we are able to communicate effectively and I do not feel intimidated to clear my doubts.Over the course of time, not only have I regain my ability to walk and other everyday movements, I also have a better self-understanding of my body in terms of the different muscles and using the right muscles to do a certain job etc. Unlike going to a usual gym outside, without any prior knowledge of muscles, one can easily strain or injure themselves unknowingly.Overall, I am thankful and I am glad Carmelle has walk me through this entire process to achieve a better quality of life.

Highly recommend this place for senior adults. My mother of 82 years old had a very enriching and enjoyable time exercising under Li Hoong’s guidance. I have seen improvements in my mum’s daily activities, and I highly recommend the trainer’s service. For those who scared to do exercise for various reasons, please talk to Li Hoong.
