Internet Activity 29
Lifestyle Management of Diabetes
Lifestyle, especially diet and exercise habits, are critical in the management of diabetes. Use the Internet to investigate some of the ways in which people with diabetes can use diet and exercise to help successfully manage their condition. For example, you might investigate the general dietary recommendations for diabetics in terms of overall nutrient content, timing of meals, or some other factor. You might search for a recipe for a dish that you like that has been modified to make it appropriate for someone with diabetes. Or you might investigate any special exercise recommendations or considerations for people with diabetes. Choose one area to research, describe what you find, and compare the information with your own current lifestyle. What types of changes would you have to make if you were diagnosed with diabetes? Use one of the sites listed below, or do a search.
