Walk Half-hour a Day=no Diabetes? Posted: 10-24-07 12:28pm


A study was published this month in the journal of Diabetes Care that found people who walk at least 21 minutes or more each day have a significant reduction for developing diabetes.

Maybe Type 2 Posted: 11-13-07 11:59am


That could be true for Type 2 diabetes, but not for type 1! Type 1 is an autoimmune disease where the body attacks itself and causes the pancreas not to work. There's nothing you can do to prevent it, unlike type 2 where lack of exercise and being overweight usually contribute to the disease.
