Diabetes In Control. A free weekly diabetes newsletter for Medical Professionals. News and information for Medical Professionals.
Our good friend and Advisory Board member, Andrew Young, is one of the fittest type 1 patients I have ever met. He runs, cycles, surfs, does yoga, and is constantly working his body to improve his fitness especially for cardiovascular health. He believes that, as a type 1 patient, it is never too early to begin working on your physical fitness and health, and his message to all patients is to do something every day to improve your health.
His ideas make perfect sense and if you check out this week’s article on The Impact of Physical Activity on Young Type 1 Diabetes Patients, you will see why he is so passionate about activity and how this activity can make a real difference in heart health.
