Visit Your Dentist!

At Diabetes Relief, we urge our patients to get regular dental checkups, and Diabetes Relief co-owner Hunter Carr shares his personal experience: “With all the demands on our time with the business,” he says, “I had postponed my scheduled treatments at Diabetes Relief, and the time between my treatments stretched out more than they should have—five weeks! I found out how wrong that is for any diabetic who has found our miraculous results.” His blood sugars got “out of whack,” he added, so he resumed his regular treatment schedule. On the way to “getting back,” he went to his dentist because he had lost a crown. As the dentist got in to repair the problem, he found some other things wrong with that tooth.

If so, Medicare will pay for your membership, and you can find a pool activities there. Here’s what a recent study found about aquatic exercise, as reported in Acta Diabetologica on July 10, 2017: Only about 30 percent of type 2 diabetics adhere to a traditional exercise program of walking, running, or resistance training. “Our research group has conducted several exercise studies in people who have type 2 diabetes. We noticed that some people could not participate in our land-based (e.g., walking) studies due to barriers such as joint pain,” said lead author Normand Boule, a physical education and recreation researcher at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada. They then planned to do a study on alternate forms…
