Main description:

Most people with diabetes - like the rest of the population - don't get enough exercise. Exercise, however, is crucial to good diabetes self-care. It improves blood glucose control and reduces the risks of diabetes complications. But like everyone else, people with diabetes just don't want to exercise. The "I Hate to Exercise" Book is made with just those people in mind. This book focuses on easing into physical activity and incorporating physical activity into your daily routine. This new edition emphasizes low-impact activities that are perfect for older adults with diabetes. A new chapter on walking and on exercising for healthy aging make this a must-have for people with diabetes. Updates also include discussions of the latest diabetes medications and exercising for weight management, which is vital for people with type 2 diabetes.
