Diabetes & Physical Fitness

The Diabetes Center at Mid-Michigan Medical Center– Alpena, is talking managing diabetes through physical fitness.

It’s an informational session for people that either have diabetes, or have family members with the condition.

The event aims to inform those affected on how to manage, so that they can avoid more health problems in the long run.

“I mean I guess the biggest goal is to teach them how to manage it now so that they don’t have the long term effects later like heart disease and kidney disease,” said Angela Soltysiak, Diabetes Education Coordinator. “All of those long term effects that will affect them later on in life,” said Soltysiak.

One way that the Diabetes Center is focusing on managing the prevention of those issues is through physical activity. With the help of the bay athletic club, attendees will learn simple exercises that will benefit their health.
