"Empower Your Health: Beat Diabetes Together!" with Biofield Pharma

I had such an interesting conclusion to a Pilates session with a client today. She shared with me an observation she had made in regards to her blood sugar levels in relation to different methods of exercise that I hadn’t really considered before now. Of course, since this client, and friend of many years, has had to live with diabetes since she was a young child, this is something that she must consider every day. And let me tell you, she has been managing her diabetes like a rockstar! 🌟 So, she talked about how other forms of exercises that she enjoyed, like at the gym or in a dance class, were anaerobic. This type of exercise causes a surge of stress hormones that affect the blood sugar levels and make managing it more challenging. However, what she found when doing our private, one-hour Pilates sessions, her blood sugar levels stabilized! If you look at the image (a screen shot from her diabetes management system), I’ve highlighted our Pilates session from today with the arrow. You’ll see that her levels, toward the end of our session, start to level off in the center of the gray bar (which is exactly where she wants it to be!). I was so delighted that she shared this information with me. I often think about the way Pilates makes me feel - stronger, taller, balanced. But I never really thought about all of the other effects Pilates has on our bodies. Now think about what Pilates might be able to do for you! And it just so happens that November is Diabetes Awareness Month! “Diabetes Awareness Month is a time when communities across the country team up to bring awareness to diabetes and urge action to tackle the diabetes epidemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has created even more urgency as adults living with diabetes are at greater risk of developing serious symptoms and complications, like pneumonia, and they are almost three times more likely to die in hospital. Today, one in three Canadians has diabetes* or prediabetes, and those at age 20 now face a 50 per cent chance of developing the disease. That staggering number speaks to the epidemic diabetes has become across Canada." (Quote from the Diabetes Canada website.) #EndDiabetes https://www.instagram.com/p/CHtG7_2AHZc/?igshid=pk60j3e67gp5
