Dr Vijay Kumar of Ogemaw has helped many of his patients lower their risk of diabetes through exercise programs. One of the problems that many people face today is running into health problems such as diabetes. Diabetes can be a debilitating disease that takes a toll on your mind, body, spirit, and even your wallet. Insulin and all of the medical equipment necessary to live with diabetes are expensive. Not only that, they can invade your life and make you feel trapped and dependent. Risk of developing diabetes only gets worse as you age, that is why it is best to take action against it as soon as possible.

Fighting to prevent becoming diabetic, especially when you are in your later years, can be a real battle. That is because according to the American Physical Therapy Association (http://www.moveforwardpt.com/Resources/Detail.aspx?cid=5418b4e9-6cac-437e-9c3e-236179a4bd8f#.Vi5aA36rR0V) “One in four Americans over the age of 60 has diabetes. Obesity and physical inactivity can put you at risk for this disease.” That statistic shows how important it is to stay active and in good shape. Otherwise, you run the risk of developing diabetes, which can be a life-threatening condition if not treated properly.
Do not become a victim of diabetes. With a little effort and a good diet and exercise routine, you do not have to develop diabetes, even in your later years. If you already have diabetes, physical therapy and a good diet can help make it more manageable as well.
Dr Vijay Kumar of Ogemaw works to keep his patients active so they do not develop medical problems like diabetes.
