Diabetes daily cardio training requirements
This will all depend on what you want to accomplish. If you are at your target weight and you want to just have a little help controlling your blood sugar readings then 30 minutes a day is just fine. But if you want to lose weight that is another story. Then we are talking 90 minutes per day minimum if you seriously want to lose weight. Keep in mind, if you do not do at least 90 minutes a day then you will have trouble losing weight. Of course you have to watch how many calories you consume also. If you are consuming 3000 calories a day, doing cardio 90 minutes a day and are not losing weight what would you think the problem might be? You guessed it, so try a little less calories, like about 1200 for an average size women or 1600 for an average size male. Eat this many calories a day, do 90 minutes cardio training (with your heart rate in between 95 and 140 beats per minute) and you will lose weight. For more information on this subject see my cardio training section of my site.

Diabetes - Type 1 overview
Type 1 diabetes used to be known as childhood diabetes. This is because it used to be the opinion that Type 1 diabetes was acquired only in childhood. But this has since been proven wrong, since it can acquired at any age. About 10 percent of all diabetic cases in America are type 1.
In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas produces no insulin. Type 1 diabetes starts when this happens.
This happens because type 1 diabetics immune system cells attack the beta cells in the pancreas and destroy them. These beta cells are the ones that should be producing the insulin.
This is why type 1 diabetics require insulin injections to control their blood glucose levels. For more information, feel free to visit my section on type 1 diabetes at my site, Diabetic Daily Life.
