Hot Tubs Ludlow - Allen Pools & Spas Shares 3 Tips For National Diabetes Month

LUDLOW, Vt. - Nov. 24, 2015 - PRLog -- Ludlow, VT 01056 –Vermont’s oldest and largest pool and spa dealer, Allen Pools and Spas, is participating in National Diabetes Month by publishing, “3 Ways to Live Better with Diabetes.”

“Living with diabetes can feel overwhelming at times. It is a serious disease and that is why November has been declared National Diabetes Month,” explains Owner and CEO Ed Allen.

“Stress is one of the risk factors for developing the disease, and also a cause for elevated sugar levels when Type II diabetes becomes a part of a person’s life. There are things that people can do to lighten their outlook and enjoy life more while coping with and controlling their illness,” continues Allen.  Here are three ways to live better with diabetes:

Go Back to Bed – Get plenty of sleep. Adults should aim for at least 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night, and diabetics should take sleep time especially seriously. Researchers in the Netherlands discovered that even one night of sleep deprivation caused patients to have about 25% loser insulin sensitivity. The Look AHEAD study for people with Type II diabetes also showed that over 80% of people with the disease also suffered from some form of sleep apnea, so people who find themselves faced with diabetes should speak with their physicians or a sleep specialist to determine if they need help getting the rest they need.

Stay Positive – Depression and emotional fatigue are two common side effects of diabetes due to the constant constraints and work that it takes to keep the disease under control. It is easy for people to feel like they are missing out on fun foods and events. Work hard to keep the focus on the positive aspects of what is going on all around.

Remember family and friends who are supportive, think about the great things that are a part of life and remember that occasionally it is okay to compromise as long as it is a smart decision not an impulse that gets carried away.

Soak in a Hot Tub – Add a hot tub to the home’s patio or yard for a great source of entertainment that is easy to care for and fits in almost anywhere. A hot tub is not only fun, it has health benefits that are specific to diabetics. It helps relieve stress and also has been shown in studies at the McKee Medical Center to lower blood sugar levels and help Type II diabetics lose weight.
