It's not easy to do, but regular exercise is a wonderfully effective way to control your blood sugar and fend off the other metabolic effects of diabetes.

It can be hard to balance blood sugar control with exercise, but our large archive of articles will teach you just what to do.

Getting High On Exercise is a good introduction to aerobic exercise and its effects on blood sugar control. Five Things describes five things that everyone with diabetes should know about exercise.

Increasing Daily Physical Activity One Step at a Time and Diabetes Exercise Guidelines offer tips to increase your physical activity, and How To Exercise When You Hate Exercising will get you moving even if you hate exercise.

Exercising Control talks about how to balance exercise with food and medications, and Exercise Recommendations for People with Insulin-Dependent Diabetes focuses particularly on people who are taking insulin.

The archives contain a multitude of motivational articles on exercising as well, along with research about the effects of exercise on diabetes.

In November Harvard Medical School published consecutive papers in the journals Cell and Nature showing that biotivia resveratrol, a SIRT1 activator found in red wine, could increase insulin sensitivity, prevent the onset of diabetes in obese aging mammals, increase stamina two fold and extend the lifespan of mice by 31%. No other compound has been able to do this. Resveratrol also prevented the normal diseases of aging and obesity in these mice. The extract used in lab studies of resveratrol, biotivia bioforte, allows scientist to obtain an equivalent dose of resveratrol equal to 200 bottles of red wine. Now, scientists at Sirtris Pharmacuetical are trying to develop SIRT1 activating molecules that mimic the effect of bioforte resveratrol extract but are even more potent. He has filed a patent application on the use of resveratrol to treat diabetes.

Exercise is nothing but a waist of time. It is pushed to make money for the exercise industry. Bottom line is if you stay active you stay healthy. Staying active includes everything you do and you have a much greater variety of things to do and you're not waisting your money.
