๐Ÿฆƒ๐Ÿ’› This Thanksgiving, Iโ€™m thankful for health, healing, and the power of movement.

๐Ÿ’™ Take the Test: Are You at Risk for Diabetes?

Awareness is the first step toward prevention. Many adults live with prediabetes or undiagnosed Type 2 diabetes without even knowing it โ€” and early detection can make all the difference.

The CDCโ€™s quick Diabetes Risk Test takes less than 1 minute and helps you understand your personal risk factors based on age, family history, weight, and activity level. ๐Ÿฉธ

โœจ Why this matters:

โœ… 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. has prediabetes

โœ… Simple lifestyle changes can prevent or delay Type 2 diabetes

โœ… Early awareness helps protect your nerves, balance, and energy
๐Ÿง  Take the free test here:

If your results show that you may be at risk, donโ€™t panic โ€” thereโ€™s hope.

At Dedicated Therapy, we help adults 50+ in Phoenix, AZ stay active, balanced, and strong through personalized movement and pain-free exercise programs that support better blood sugar control and long-term health. ๐Ÿ’ช

๐Ÿง  Diabetes doesnโ€™t just affect blood sugar โ€” it affects your whole body.

When glucose stays too high in your bloodstream, it damages the small nerves that keep you balanced, steady, and aware of your surroundings.
This nerve damage โ€” called diabetic neuropathy โ€” can cause tingling, numbness, burning pain, or loss of sensation in your feet and legs.

When you canโ€™t fully feel your feet or see clearly where youโ€™re walking, your risk of falls and injuries increases. Thatโ€™s why awareness and prevention are so important.

๐Ÿ” Fact Check:

โœ… 1 in 10 adults in the U.S. has diabetes.
โœ… 1 in 3 has prediabetes โ€” and most donโ€™t even know it.
โœ… Up to 50% of people with diabetes develop neuropathy, a leading cause of balance loss and foot ulcers.

โœจ The good news:
Regular movement, hydration, and balanced nutrition can protect your nerves, improve circulation, and help you stay independent and active.

๐Ÿฉต Can a simple lunge help lower blood sugar? Absolutely.

The lunge isnโ€™t just great for balance and flexibility โ€” it also helps your body use sugar for energy.
When you move large muscle groups (like your legs and glutes), your muscles pull glucose from your bloodstream to fuel the movement.

That means every lunge (big or small), lift, and step is helping your body naturally regulate blood sugar levels. ๐Ÿ’ช

โœจ Bonus benefits:
โœ… Strengthens hips and legs for better balance
โœ… Improves circulation and flexibility
โœ… Supports healthy joints and bone strength
โœ… Add weights to your lunge to get even more benefit.

Remember โ€” you donโ€™t need hours in the gym.
Just a few mindful movements every day can make a big difference for your health.

๐Ÿ— One small change can make a big difference! Looks good right?

If youโ€™re living with diabetes or prediabetes, try this simple meal shift:

๐Ÿฅฆ Remove one high-carb food (rice, or foods made with flour) from your dinner, and replace it with lean protein and non-starchy veggies.

This helps balance your blood sugar overnight, reduces cravings, and boosts morning energy.

Remember ..healthy choices donโ€™t have to be extreme. They just have to be consistent. ๐Ÿ’ช

๐Ÿ’™ True or False: You can have diabetes and not even know it.

โœ… Answer: TRUE.

Many people live with undiagnosed Type 2 Diabetes for years before symptoms show up โ€” fatigue, slow healing, or tingling in the feet often go unnoticed.
Thatโ€™s why regular check-ups and daily movement are so important.

FYI : Ask your physician to do an A1C blood test. This test will promote conversation between you and your health professional. It will also confirm if you have diabetes or are at risk of diabetes (pre-diabetes)

Physical activity helps your body use sugar more effectively, improves circulation, and protects your nerves and muscles โ€” especially in your legs and feet.
At Dedicated Therapy, we help clients strengthen their bodies through safe, guided movement that supports blood flow and balance.

Because awareness + action = prevention. ๐Ÿ’ช

๐Ÿ’™ November 14 is World Diabetes Day โ€” a reminder that awareness saves lives.

Did you know diabetes affects more than 1 in 10 adults worldwide? And for many, it goes undiagnosed until symptoms become serious. But hereโ€™s the good news: with the right lifestyle, movement, and education, you can manage or even prevent diabetes complications โ€” and live a healthy, active life at any age.

๐Ÿ’ก Simple ways to support your health today:
โœ… Take a 10โ€“15 minute walk after meals to lower blood sugar naturally
โœ… Stay hydrated and limit sugary drinks
โœ… Add gentle stretching or balance exercises to your daily routine
โœ… Schedule regular health checkups and screenings

You deserve to feel strong, steady, and energized โ€” every single day. ๐ŸŒฟ

๐Ÿ’ช Wall and counter push-ups may look simple โ€” but theyโ€™re one of the most underrated exercises for improving balance, strength, and stability.

Hereโ€™s why theyโ€™re powerful ๐Ÿ‘‡

When you push against the wall, your arms, chest, shoulders, and core all engage at once. Your lower body muscles โ€” especially your legs and ankles โ€” naturally activate to help you stay steady. This full-body coordination strengthens your postural muscles, which are essential for keeping your balance while standing, walking, or even reaching for something on a shelf.

Over time, push-ups can help you:
โœ… Strengthen your upper body and core without joint strain
โœ… Improve posture and body awareness
โœ… Boost balance and confidence during daily movements
โœ… Reduce the risk of falls by training stability

โœจ Tip: Stand about an armโ€™s length (2ft) from the wall, place your hands at shoulder height, wider than your body and keep your body straight like a plank. Breathe out as you push away, and inhale as you bend your elbows.

For a more challenging workout, push up from a countertop standing 2.5ft away. For a greater challenge, pushup from the floor.

Even just a few minutes a day can make a big difference โ€” small, consistent moves like this are the foundation of lifelong strength and balance.

๐ŸŒŸ Your health is your lifelong investment โ€” not a seasonal goal.

As Octoberโ€™s Bone & Balance Month wraps up, hereโ€™s your reminder that staying active isnโ€™t just about fitness โ€” itโ€™s about freedom.
๐Ÿ’ช Regular physical activity helps you:

โœ… Keep your weight in check, which decreases joint stress so you can move better.

โœ… Lift your mood and ease stress. Better mood=better motivation.

โœ… Sleep better at night

โœ… Boost your daily energy and confidence
Whether itโ€™s a short walk, gentle stretch, or balance exercise โ€” movement is medicine. Every step strengthens your body, mind, and independence.
๐Ÿ’œ Donโ€™t wait for a new year to start fresh. Take one small action today that your future self will thank you for.
