Let's see Fer is not that I am a firm sports defender hahaha.But point 3 would have to be retouched a little:
- 150 minutes 7 days a week is 21 minutes/day.
- 100 minutes 7 days a week are 14 minutes/day.
Walking is an excellent sport, you don't have to refer only to extreme or exaggerated sport.
I would put a minimum of an hour a day if it is walking.
And for other types of sport because they also indicate.
All to put on the shoes and move the bloody circulation !!!!!!
If we fight with our diabetes everything will be beneficial for our health.

Yes, it also recently done to me.Although if you do 50 minutes running 3 alternate days it doesn't seem so little.

The main thing is not to stand and do the appropriateness of the physical condition that you have

What catches my attention is this:
6. Have a normal sugar level, at any time (not only on an empty stomach), 365 days a year, 24 hours a day.This is almost impossible !!
And what seems most curious to me:
19. Always use white socks to avoid ampoules and sores, with the socks of other colors come out more or what?

Hahaha the truth that the 2 lousts have been lucid with the 20 tips, let's seem that Mortadelo and Filemón had recommended, the worst that are called endocrine.:))

and 13. Check your kidneys at least twice a year.How are you reviewed ???

@Mariah14 Maybe it is because black attracts the sun more than white and is afraid you are burn and blish, hahaha.

@Joseludi do not be soft, we are like legionaries, we do not rest in any way;)

@Luvi these are like everyone else, they have no idea what they are talking about and come on, do not ask what you have to do if you have 90 and you have to have dinner, because they tell you not to get insulin because you have it well.

@antonimar, to see you is that you never check them?I can't even believe that you are able to do that.Every month I take a photo with flash hitting the mobile to the kidneys, that is the best way to see how they are hahaha.

@jconegar, I'm not soft, it's that you the 150 minutes per week are found in a way out of yours :))

If you get the 6, you don't need anything else, hahaha
