How can we help treat Diabetes?
No matter what stage you are at with your diabetes, exercise can always help. The main goal with diabetes is to improve your insulin sensitivity so the progression of your condition is slowed, or even halted. If you are able to achieve this, you may have less need for additional medication, be able to manage your blood sugar levels with less stress and reduce the likelihood of needing to inject insulin. Furthermore, if diabetes is left untreated, highly undesirable symptoms such as loss of sensation, poor healing leading to ulceration and metabolic syndrome could come your way. As such, we know you can gain enormous benefits if you link in with EP360 today to discover how we can help you.
