Exercise has a long list of credits to its name. It benefits all diabetics, and all people in general for that matter. D.M. Klachko, MD, from the University of Missouri, conducted a project examining the effects of exercise in diabetes. Of course there are other studies I could discuss, but I don't want you to fall asleep. Back to the other credits.

I have overcome diabetic retinopathy. Many days I battle fatigue or hyperglycemia. It provides my life with a sense of balance, and a healthy feeling that I can take care of myself. I remember all too vividly my fears and isolation, frightened that my dreams would be stolen from me by diabetes. But after a good workout, my optimism and hope are rekindled.
