MARTINSBURG, W.Va. - Nov. 29, 2013 - PRLog -- “With so much information on diabetes, especially adult onset Type II Diabetes floating around, it is easy to become confused or even overwhelmed by the needs to control it,” says Mark Flohr, president of Flohr Pools.

Here are three ways to help really learn how to live with, and control diabetes.

Understand the Disease: The first thing most people learn about diabetes, either in general, or when they are first diagnosed, is that it is all about the sugar. That’s the truth. However, that’s where the education tends to stop. Telling people to control their sugar intake is good, but really learning about what sugar is in all of its forms, and how the body uses each kind will go a much longer way in helping control the disease or prevent it from starting.

Learn the technical aspects of the diabetes instead of just settling for the superficial explanations of what’s happening to the body. Knowing the details will help everyone make better choices in eating habits, and also understand how the sugar they do eat gets metabolized so they can control medications, reactions and use additional control methods more effectively.

The first stop in learning should be the doctor. The physician that diagnoses the disease, or a regular family doctor who may be concerned about the possibility of it, will guide patients to the best choices for their lifestyles. The doctor can also tell people what their exact medical needs are, and how changing particular aspects of their lives may alter how those medicines are used.

Patients should ask their doctors about classes available to learn more about handling diabetes in their daily lives. The internet is also a great tool for getting more information on diabetes.

Join a Group: Never feel like dealing with diabetes has to be a lonely process. Even family members can have a difficult time relating to others who are dealing with diabetes. Find a local support group. Having others to talk to about the problems and struggles they have is a great way to gain strength and understanding of the disease. If local groups aren’t available, look for online support groups. The forums and chat rooms are a good source of connection to others from around the globe that are faced with similar situations when handling their diabetes problems.

Release Stress at Home - Spend some time every day relaxing and getting rid of the daily stresses that cause anxiety and tension. A 2006 study by C. Li and colleagues, published in Diabetic Medicine, shows a serious link between diabetes and stress-related illnesses. In fact, diabetics were shown to have a 20% higher incidence of anxiety conditions.

A great way to relieve stress is to incorporate a hot tub into the home. Not only will it help reduce stress and provide many wonderful benefits to everyone in the family, a hot tub can also directly help with the reduction of blood sugar levels. Another study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week in a hot tub can lower blood sugar as much as 18%. It’s also great for lowering high blood pressure, and getting low impact exercise workouts.
