Exercise, Weight, and Diabetes Control

Your weight is much easier to control when you’re active. For a person with diabetes, the many benefits of losing weight may include:

Improved blood sugar
Improved use of insulin
Reduced need for diabetes medications
Lower blood pressure
Reduced risk of heart disease and other long-term problems
Improved appearance, energy level, and self-esteem

Losing weight slowly — 1/2 to 2 lbs per week — is the healthiest and best way to lose pounds and keep them off. Diabetes Control for Life offers a diabetes-specific weight loss plan which combines diet and physical activity. The Diabetes Control for Life online weight loss program is based on clinical studies of diet and exercise programs shown to lower A1C levels, reduce weight, and lower blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.1,2*

*Some of the products used in the clinical studies differed from those available for Diabetes Control For Life™ and studies were clinic-based rather than internet-based.

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your Control For Life™ program. I found it amazing how often the articles were exactly what I needed to hear at exactly the right moment! Martha
