Diabetes & Exercise: Find Resources & Get Moving!

If you are like me, you are always looking for new and improved ways of managing your health. Resources on nutrition, fitness, and diabetes control can be fascinating, and I read whatever I can get my hands on!

That being said, there are some excellent resources out there about diabetes and exercise, including books by diabetic fitness buffs, nutrition experts, and even a whole organization called DESA: the Diabetes Exercise and Sports Association. DESA is great because, just like our DiabeTeens website, it brings together a whole community of people with diabetes who are committed to staying in shape. The association sponsors events featuring really knowledgeable guest speakers as well as race/walks and professional sports games.

DESA has local chapters all over, so you should have no problem getting involved in some way!
