Article: Exercise is key for helping your body to manage its glucose levels. Regular exercise increases your sensitivity to insulin, which is responsible for keeping glucose levels steady. It also uses up excess glucose that would otherwise be in your system. To get these positive benefits, exercise regularly. If you have diabetes, you need to be aware that glucose levels change when you exercise. It's important to monitor your glucose before and after exercise and make adjustments to your insulin accordingly. your stress. Stress can have a direct impact on your fasting blood sugar because high blood pressure can also impact your glucose levels. You can reduce your blood pressure with diet changes and medication but stress reduction is also key. When reducing your stress focus on both mental and physical stress. Relaxing both your mind and your body are key. There are a wide variety of ways to reduce your stress and no one way will work for everyone. The key is to find an activity that brings you joy and relaxes your mind. This could be a hobby, such as sewing, or just a relaxing activity, such as reading a book while taking a bath. Then, when you have figured out what relaxes you, make the time to do that activity regularly. When you have diabetes, it is important to have medical checkups regularly. This will allow your doctor to keep an eye on your condition and to adjust any medications you are taking. Having regular adjustments to your insulin dosage is an important part of keeping your fasting blood sugar regulated. With regular checkups your doctor can also look for medical conditions that can be related to diabetes, such as foot ulcers and nerve damage. Regular checkups can also help keep you motivated to make positive changes that will improve your condition.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?

Problem: Article: Newton's second law of motion states that any object will accelerate when acted upon by a net or unbalanced force. In other words, if a force is acting upon an object that is greater than the forces acting in the opposite direction, the object will accelerate in the direction of the larger force. This law can be summed up with the equation F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass of the object, and a is acceleration. Using this law, we can calculate the force of gravity of any object on the surface of the earth, using the known acceleration due to gravity. On earth, the force of gravity causes objects to accelerate at a rate of 9.8 m/s2. On the earth's surface, we can use the simplified equation Fgrav = mg to calculate the force of gravity. If you want a more exact approximation of force, you can still use the above equation, Fgrav = (GMearthm)/d2 to determine force of gravity. For this particular equation, you must use metric units. The mass of the object needs to be in kilograms (kg) and the acceleration needs to be in meters per second squared (m/s2). You must convert to these units before continuing with the calculation. For smaller objects, you can weigh them on a scale or balance to determine its weight in kilograms (kg). For larger objects, you will have to look-up the approximate mass in a table or online. In physics problems, the mass of the object will generally be provided to you. Once you have defined the variables of your equation, you can plug them in and solve. Be sure that all of your units are in metric and on the right scale. Mass should be in kilograms and distance in meters. Solve the equation using the proper order of operations. Let's use the same equation from above and see how close the approximation is. Determine the force of gravity on a 68 kg person on the surface of the earth. Make sure all your variables have the proper units: m = 68 kg, g = 9.8 m/s2. Write your equation. Fgrav = mg = 68*9.8 = 666 N. With F = mg the force of gravity is 666 N, while using the more exact equation yields a force of 665 N. As you can see, these values are almost identical.
Summary: Understand Newton's Second Law of Motion, F = ma. Know the acceleration due to gravity on earth. Use the proper metric units. Determine the mass of the object in question. Solve the equation.

Rapid prompting involves continuously asking questions to the autistic person, and letting them answer using writing, pointing to a letter board, speaking, or whatever works best. It encourages the autistic person to communicate and engage with the world more. RDI focuses on developing skills such as theory of mind, independent thinking, consideration of others, and more. It is a long-term therapy. Behavioral therapy can teach rote tasks using extrinsic rewards, and can be useful for concrete skills such as hand-washing, listening to the word "stop," and tying shoes. Unfortunately, there are many stories of goals that involve compliance, forced normalization, and abuse. Choose therapists carefully and make sure the focus is on teaching your loved one skills, not on forcing them to conform. CBT is a form of talk therapy that can help identify distorted thoughts, such as "Everybody will laugh at me if I flap my hands" or "I am a burden to my family," and evaluate their accuracy. An occupational therapist can work with you and/or your loved one to provide strategies to meet the autistic person's needs. A sensory diet is a set of activities to do at home, like climbing trees, finger painting, swinging, blowing bubbles, et cetera. It can help meet the autistic person's needs and acclimate them to various stimuli. It can also be a lot of fun. The therapist can also help redirect harmful stims (e.g. hitting one's head) towards ones that fulfill the same need without causing harm (e.g. hitting a pillow, applying deep pressure to the head). There is no scientific evidence that any of them are helpful at all, some involve specific risks, but certain people find them useful. The following is a list of treatments that fit this category and examples of what they may involve: Energy therapy - reiki, acupuncture, Therapeutic Touch Alternative medical systems - aromatherapy, homeopathy Manipulative and body-based method - deep pressure, acupressure, hydro massage Mind-body intervention - auditory integration, meditation, dance therapy Biologically based therapy - using herbs, special diet, and vitamins Always consult a doctor before making a major change to your own or a loved one's diet or lifestyle. Some alternative therapies, such as chelation therapy or MMS, are potentially deadly. If the autistic person is upset by the therapy, or fails to improve, find a new therapy. From common snake oil peddlers to certified BCBAs, there are people who will distort truths and support ideas that can harm you or your loved one. Trust your instincts, don't let fearmongering make you panic, and don't continue a therapy if you think it is upsetting you or your loved one too much. Therapy should not be extremely painful or distressing. A therapist should take the patient's unhappiness seriously. 40 hours per week of therapy is as intense as a full-time job. This can be overwhelming. Small children do not have adult attention spans. Your child will be fine with 1-2 hours per day or less, and there's no rush. Transparency is a reasonable request. Therapists should not prevent you from witnessing a situation, or dodge your questions. People who claim to cure autism are not being honest. Autism is probably genetic, not caused by vaccines or parasites. Your instincts matter. If a therapist is telling you to ignore your gut feeling, that you're being irrational, or that you would intervene if you saw what they were doing to your loved one, this is a problem.

One-sentence summary --
Try the Rapid Prompting Method (RPM) for developing communication skills, especially for nonverbal autistic people. Consider Relationship Development Intervention (RDI) to teach social skills. Consider behavioral therapies such as ABA, with caution. Try Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help with anxiety and depression, which often accompany autism. Try Sensory Integration Therapy and a sensory diet to help with sensory issues. Consider complementary and alternative treatments. Watch for fake therapies and false claims.
