Type 2 Diabetes

Physical activity has a positive impact on the insulin resistance often seen in people with type 2 diabetes.Physical activity affects blood glucose levels by increasing peripheral insulin sensitivity, lowering insulin needs,and improving glucose tolerance.Athletes with type 2 diabetes who appropriately manage their diets and who are not taking insulin should be able to engage in physical activity with the same amount of caution as someone with normal glucose tolerance, as long as the athlete does not have any existing blood vessel or nerve complications.Athletes with type 2 diabetes should, prior to beginning training, have a thorough medical evaluation to screen for large and small blood vessel complications associated with diabetes.Slowly increasing intensity and effort of training, while monitoring blood glucose levels, will help athletes with type 2 diabetes accurately assess the appropriate schedule for exercise and food intake to manage their blood glucose levels. Athletes with type 2 diabetes taking insulin must work with their physician and dietitian to set up an appropriate schedule and monitoring system for insulin injection, dietary intake, and physical activity in order to effectively manage their disease and perform at their best.

Warming Up

Warm Up How- Tos
Warming up should gradually increase blood vessel dilation, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, oxygen consumption , and elasticity of active muscles and joints.An effective warm-up session has two components general and activity specific.That's a fancy way of saying you need to move, and you need to stretch.

The general warm up should be five to 10 minutes of movement. Some experts recommend slower movements of the aerobic activity you'll be doing.For example, you might try some slow swimming to start off your session in the pool, or some slow cycling with low resistance before you up the pace and intensity.Others recommend walking as a way to warm up for nearly any exercise. Another option is slow-tempo calisthenics.It all depends on your preference and abilities.

The activity-specific part of the warm up should focus mostly on the muscles to be used in the aerobic activity.For example, if you're going for a run , you should stretch your calves , Achilles tendons, and quadriceps after walking but before you take off .Aside from stretching , you also can incorporate lower -intensity movements that are part of the aerobic activity,such as gently rotating the arm at the shoulder for a swimmer or volleyball player, for example.
Cool Your Jets 

Some people think the cool down is a waste of time  walking out to the car after a tough game of racquetball should be plenty of cooling down!Others treat post-exercise time as a sort of happy hour, plopping down on the grass after touch football with a cold beer.The truth is that the cool down is as important as the warm up, and stretching is more important in the cool down because warm muscles respond better to stretching .Allowing the body to gradually slow down helps the muscles get rid of waste products such as carbon dioxide and lactic acid more efficiently than slamming on the exercise brakes.
The duration of the cool down should be in proportion to the duration and intensity of the aerobic activity in general, another five to 10 minute for a 30 to 40 minute aerobic session.The activities for a cool down , like those for a warm-up session, really are limitless.Walk, cycle slowly with no resistance, swim with a slower rate of arm stroke, even marching in place at a gradually reduced speed and intensity will help your body recover from the hard work it's done.

How can eating 6 meals per day be more convenient?

Eating six meals a day isn't easy unless your family is like some stereotypical 70's family where the wife just stay home all day ,cooks,cleans the house and when you come home she puts a newspaper on your lap and gives you coffee. But I'm sorry life isn't like that.Cooking six times a day sometimes isn't an option because you're at work, school or what not. And eating at McDonald's isn't the best past nutrition food.However there are things you can do to get your six nutritious healthy meals. Two words meal replacements. These are amazing if you need a quick meal in a crunch.They are easy to make, convenient and can be carried around in a backpack or even a pocket.All you need is a liquid to mix it in.They have slow release carbs,protein,and a bunch of vitamins and minerals.
