Diabetes management - exercise and nutrition program for health and well being
Has your Doctor told you your blood sugars are too high?
Do you want to lose weight?
Do you want to avoid diabetes complications including:
blindness, heart attack, stroke, and
amputation?
Type 2 Diabetes is the epidemic of the 21st century, and it can take hold of your life if you let it.
1.2 million people are admitted to hospital each year, due to diabetes-related complications, and 11% of all Australian deaths cite diabetes as the underlying cause.
Our Exercise Physiologists at Health in Balance are trained specialists in prescribing exercise for type 2 diabetes. We know exactly how to assess you, improve your insulin function, help you to lose weight, improve your balance, fitness, and strength, and avoid the dreaded diabetes complications.
