 We're here with Alicia Greenwald, a nurse practitioner at Healthy Living Health Care in Falmouth. We're going to talk about the summer and what can go on for people to have a better healthier life, feel better physically, and I know that you work with people who live with diabetes, and you have some tips for them and for the rest of us. Well the one thing that a lot of my patients who live with diabetes often forget about is activities in the summer that they don't consider to be exercise, such as mowing their lawn or gardening, or just walking on the beach, and so a lot of times folks that have diabetes take medications like insulin or certain diabetes pills that are designed to lower blood sugar, but when you combine that with exercise, such as the things I just mentioned, sometimes the blood sugar can go too low, and that causes something called hypoglycemia, which is dangerously low blood sugar that can lead to unconsciousness. So some of the things that I recommend my patients to do before they engage in things like mowing their lawn or gardening is to simply check their blood sugar before they do that so they can be sure that their blood sugar isn't too low to start because it's going to go lower, and that's simple to do with a blood sugar meter. And so if they check their blood sugar and the blood sugar is less than 100, that's too low to get started with exercise because it's going to go lower. In fact a blood sugar that goes under 70 is considered hypoglycemic, and that's when a person's going to start to feel pretty awful. And if that blood sugar is under 100, we recommend that that person eat a small snack to raise their blood sugar a little bit to compensate for the fact the exercise is going to lower that. So things like fruit or crackers or milk, things like that can raise your blood sugar enough just to get you by for an hour or so. And if it's going to be a big job, or mowing a big lawn, do you recommend keeping some snacks with them? Yes, it's a smart idea if you're going to be out for a while to carry little snacks with you in your pocket. Wonderful tips, very simple, common sense, and easy, really just paying attention. Right, just being mindful. Great, thank you so much, Alicia.
