Exercise
For people who have diabetes—or almost any other disease, for that matter—the benefits of exercise can’t be overstated. Exercise helps control weight, lower blood pressure, lower harmful LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, raise healthy HDL cholesterol, strengthen muscles and bones, reduce anxiety, and improve your general well-being. There are added benefits for people with diabetes: exercise lowers blood glucose levels and boosts your body’s sensitivity to insulin, countering insulin resistance.
So this better be worth it LOL!

People with diabetes who walked at least two hours a week were less likely to die of heart disease than their sedentary counter- parts, and those who exercised three to four hours a week cut their risk even more.
So I’ve done about 3 hours in 10 days.
Progress
My left knee is painful: arthritis.
My legs get sore from the riding, but it’s been subsiding. My energy levels have been up, not even able to take naps.
I’ve noticed slightly improved elapsed time, because my average speed has increased. But my goal is distance at this point.
The new bike has helped me, with less mechanical troubles I’m able to look forward to the ride.
