If you are pre-diabetic, did you know that consistent diet, exercise, and support classes are more effective in delaying full onset diabetes than the pill-controlled blood sugar lowering with Metformin?
http://www.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUSTRE59R5U420091028:
1. In U.S. 11% of our adult population (24 million people) have diabetes.
2. 10 year study involving 3,234 obese adults randomly assigned to trial.
3. Risk for developing diabetes was reduced by 34% with diet, exercise, and support group.
4. Risk was lowered by 18% with Metformin (pill that lowers blood sugar) first and later diet, exercise, and support group were added.
Diabetic women develop many complications during pregnancy and delivery. Their babies are sicker. They sometimes have trouble breastfeeding due to perinatal complications.
If pregnancy is in your future, how about diet, exercise, and support group?
