By learning to eat right I reversed it. By May 2005 I had learned to eat right, got my glucose and A1C numbers in line and got off all the meds. Chia seed is one of the secrets for good diabetic control. Chia is rich in mucilage fiber which helps control blood glucose. (30 grams of fiber per day.) Of course there is a lot more to controlling type 2 diabetes than chia but it is one of the super foods.

I was at chia direct and saw the link to your blog.

So often those with disordered perspectives on exercise forget about the importance of giving their bodies a break. Thank you for reminding us of the physical and psychological benefits of taking a short hiatus from exercise and that giving your body rest when that’s what it wants and needs is not out of laziness or a lack of motivation. The suggestions taken from Runner’s World are valid too, but like you said, we earned the rest and we can spend it however we please! It will help avoid preventable injuries, overtraining, and fatigue – let’s make guilt a thing of the past!
