These are things all people have to do to stay
healthy:
Avoid smoking
Get regular exercise
Eat a balanced diet
Weight management
Blood pressure of 130/80 or lower
Total cholesterol below 200
Hemoglobin A1c below 6.5%
Feeling well and being active
A waistline below 35 inches
To reach these measures of good health,
people usually have to make changes in their
daily lives. They often ponder the following
questions:
What are the risks if I don’t change?
Do I really have to change?
What are the costs and what are the benefits?
What will my friends and family say?
If you had gestational
diabetes or a family
member has diabetes,
you are at risk of
developing diabetes
unless you make
changes in eating and
exercise
Most people do not
eat well
Do not exercise
enough
Weigh too much
And therefore are at
increased risk of
diabetes!
There may be costs involved as you buy wholesome foods or walking shoes.
Costs tend to be out-weighed by the benefits of saving healthcare costs later for diabetes care.
Sometimes they may be upset when your changes affect them in ways such as not buying sweets or going for a walk instead of watching TV
Eventually they come to accept the needed changes and feel
better too.
Communication
Assertiveness
Problem solving
Time Management
Listen to family and
friends
Talk things out
Speak up for your
goals
Be understanding of
the other person’s
frustration
If you don’t feel safe
walking alone, find a
friend to walk with
you
First things first!
Your health and your
family’s health are
top priorities!
Good things come
from exercise:
Exercise for stress
control
Exercise for your
soul
Exercise for your
self-image
Choose an exercise
that you enjoy and
that fits your
personality
