Diabetes & Keeping Fit For Dummies

The fitness guide that no one with diabetes should be without

Nearly one in every 11 people in the United States is affected by diabetes, a staggering number with personal and social costs. If you are one of the millions of people living with diabetes or prediabetes, the American Diabetes Association recommends two types of physical activity as essential components of self-care: aerobic exercise and strength training. The book Diabetes & Keeping Fit For Dummies covers everything from an initial walking plan to strength and resistance training plans, providing all the step-by-step guidance and instructions you need to make exercise a priority in managing diabetes.

This informative practical guide shows you how to incorporate exercise into your routine, even if you haven't been to the gym since high school.
