1) The document provides information on how alcohol can affect people with type 1 diabetes, noting that drinking alcohol raises the risk of hypoglycemia due to the liver slowing production of glucose while processing alcohol.
2) It recommends that people with diabetes limit themselves to no more than 2 standard drinks per day and plan ahead if drinking, such as by eating beforehand and having snacks on hand in case of low blood sugar.
3) The document provides tips for drinking safely with diabetes, such as checking blood sugar levels frequently when drinking and never drinking alone in case help is needed for hypoglycemia.
This document provides information and guidance for maintaining a regular aerobic exercise routine to help manage diabetes. It recommends engaging in moderate to vigorous aerobic activity for 150 minutes per week. Tips are given for creating SMART goals, rewarding accomplishments, varying activities to prevent boredom, exercising with others for motivation, and planning for times when exercise is difficult to maintain progress safely and sustainably over the long term.
The document discusses stress, how it affects both the mind and body, and how to manage stress when living with diabetes. It explains that stress causes the body's "fight or flight" response which increases heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and blood glucose levels. While stress itself is not harmful, the way people deal with stress can impact their health and diabetes management. The document provides examples of both healthy and unhealthy ways of coping with stress, and advises talking to doctors if stress symptoms last more than a few weeks, as it could be a sign of anxiety or depression.
People with diabetes have a higher risk of developing gum disease than those without diabetes. Gum disease can cause blood glucose levels to rise and can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. There are two main types of gum disease - gingivitis which causes inflamed gums that bleed, and the more severe periodontitis which destroys bone and ligaments around the teeth. Keeping blood glucose levels controlled, brushing and flossing teeth regularly, quitting smoking, and visiting the dentist twice yearly can help prevent gum disease.
This document provides instructions for a 20-minute resistance band workout that can be done while seated. It includes exercises that work the chest, back, shoulders, biceps, triceps, core, legs, and stretches. The workout consists of 3 sets of exercises, with 15 reps each, followed by various stretches to hold for 10-30 seconds. Examples given are chest pulls, bent over rows, shoulder raises, and inner thigh adductions using resistance bands.
Regular physical activity has significant health benefits for people with diabetes, including improved blood glucose control, reduced risk of heart disease and weight control. Aerobic activities like walking and strength training are recommended. Aim for at least 30 minutes per day of moderate intensity activity, in sessions of 10 minutes or more. It's important to check blood glucose levels before, during, and after exercise and be aware of symptoms of low blood sugar.

The document provides guidelines for a resistance training program for diabetes management using resistance bands. It recommends starting with 2 days per week of light resistance and gradually increasing repetitions, sets and resistance over 12-20 weeks to meet guidelines of 3 times per week. The program works all major muscle groups with 12 seated exercises using a resistance band. Safety tips are provided such as maintaining proper form and posture and gradually increasing the resistance level.
Regular physical activity provides significant health benefits for those with diabetes, including improved blood glucose control, lipid profile, blood pressure, and weight management. The Canadian Diabetes Association recommends a minimum of 150 minutes per week of aerobic exercise and 3 sessions per week of resistance exercise. However, most people with diabetes do not meet these targets. Healthcare professionals play an important role in promoting physical activity by assessing patients' current activity levels, advising on exercise prescriptions, and assisting with goal setting and follow up to help patients adopt and maintain regular physical activity.
Physical activity can affect blood glucose levels in both ways. It usually lowers blood glucose levels due to muscles using more glucose and increased insulin sensitivity. However, physical activity sometimes increases blood glucose levels temporarily due to stress hormones or if the child is unwell. Children with type 1 diabetes should test their blood glucose before physical activity and carry hypo treatment with them, as activity may cause hypos up to 16 hours later.
This document summarizes the common complications of diabetes and provides information on how to reduce risks. The most common complications are damage to large blood vessels (heart attack, stroke) and small blood vessels (eyes, kidneys, nerves, feet). Keeping blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol at recommended levels can significantly reduce complication risks. This includes eating healthy, exercising, not smoking, weight control, and regular medical checks. Preventing and treating complications early is important to staying well with diabetes.
There are 10 steps provided to manage diabetes and stay healthy. The steps include being physically active for 30 minutes daily, eating a low-fat diet with plenty of fiber, regularly checking blood glucose levels, stopping smoking, drinking alcohol in moderation, monitoring weight, undergoing recommended medical checks and tests, taking care of feet, eye exams every 1-2 years, and living a healthy lifestyle. The document encourages joining a diabetes organization for support services.
This document provides information on drug use for people with type 1 diabetes. It discusses both legal and illegal recreational drugs, outlining their classification as depressants, stimulants, or hallucinogens. For each drug type, it describes potential health effects, including impacts on blood glucose levels and diabetes management. The document emphasizes that drug use poses extra risks for those with diabetes and can lead to hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, or ketoacidosis if insulin doses are missed. It advises never using drugs alone and always carrying medical identification. Peer pressure is addressed, encouraging readers to feel confident saying no if uncomfortable. Further resources on the topic are listed.

Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin. Insulin acts as a key to allow glucose from food to enter cells and provide energy. Without enough insulin, glucose remains in the bloodstream causing abnormally high blood glucose levels. Symptoms of high blood glucose include increased thirst, fatigue, frequent urination, stomach pain, weight loss, and general feelings of being unwell. Type 1 diabetes is treated through lifelong insulin therapy via injections or pump, healthy eating, physical activity, blood glucose monitoring, and regular medical checkups. While genes may increase risk, type 1 diabetes develops when environmental triggers cause the immune system to destroy insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.

Whether you are camping or cruising, you can go
anywhere and do almost anything. It just takes a little
planning ahead to handle your diabetes.
Getting Ready
Before a long trip, you have to have a medical exam
to make sure your diabetes is in good control.
Before any trip, get two papers from your doctor
a letter and a prescription. The letter should explain
what you need to do for your diabetes, such as take
diabetes pills or insulin shots. It should list insulin,
syringes, and any other medications or devices
you use. You may need it to board the plane with
your syringes.
The prescription should be for insulin or diabetes
pills. You should have more than enough insulin
and syringes or pills to last through the trip. But the
prescription may help in case of emergency.

The second rule of travel for a person with diabetes:
pack at least twice as much medication and blood-
testing supplies as you think you need. Pack at least
half in your carry-on bag so that your medication is
always with you.
Whether you travel by car, plane, boat, bike, or foot,
you will want to keep this «carry-on» bag with you
at all times. Pack this bag with:
• all the insulin and syringes you will need for
the trip.
• blood and urine testing supplies (include extra
batteries for your glucose meter).
• all oral medications (an extra supply
is a good idea).
• other medications or medical supplies, such
as glucagon, anti-diarrhea medication, antibiotic
ointment, anti-nausea drugs.
• your ID and diabetes identity card.
• a well-wrapped, air-tight snack pack of crackers
or cheese, peanut butter, fruit, a juice box, and
some form of sugar (hard candy or glucose
tablets) to treat low blood glucose.
During the trip
When you fly, you can request a special meal low in
sugar, fat, or cholesterol. If you take insulin, wait until
you see your food coming down the aisle before you
take your shot. Otherwise, a delay in the meal could
lead to low blood glucose. To be safe, always carry
some food with you. If your meal is delayed or an
order is mixed up, you won›t be stuck with an
empty stomach.
When you travel with insulin, give some thought to
where you will be storing your supplies. Insulin does
not need to be refrigerated. If insulin is stored in very
hot or very cold temperatures, it may lose strength.
Don’t store your insulin in the glove compartment or
trunk of your car; carry it with you on the plane and do
not put it in the checked luggage.
Crossing Time Zones; if you take insulin shots and
will be crossing time zones, talk to your doctor or
diabetes educator before your trip regarding this issue.
Remember: eastward travel means a shorter day. If you
inject insulin, less may be needed. Westward travel
means a longer day, so more insulin may be needed.
Checking your blood glucose while traveling is as
important as when you are at home. Also, check your
blood glucose level as soon as possible after landing.
Jet lag can make it hard to tell if you have very low or
very high blood glucose.
After a long flight, take it easy for a few days. Check
your blood glucose often. If you take insulin, plan your
activities so you can work in your insulin and meals.
If you are more active than usual, your blood glucose
could go too low. Take along snacks when hiking or
sightseeing. Don’t assume you will be able to find food
wherever you are.
No matter what kind of diabetes you have, it is smart
to watch what you eat and drink when traveling.
Wear comfortable shoes and never go barefoot. Check
your feet every day. You should look for blisters, cuts,
redness, swelling, and scratches. Get medical care at
the first sign of infection or inflammation.
