07.01.2022 It's National Diabetes Week! We met with Alex to bring you his story of how EXERCISE was the missing link in managing his diabetes. When Alex was diagnosed wit...h diabetes, he was suffering from depression, sleep apnoea, heart disease and he weighed 125kg. Alex spoke to his GP and was referred to an Accredited Exercise Physiologist who could prescribe him with an exercise program individualised for him. Alex has been working with Tanya and the team at Coordinated Fitness for the past 9 months. I’ve lost 25kgs, my blood sugar is normal, my heart is perfect according to my doctor and my psychiatrist says I seem the most calm he’s seen me in 10 years. They are such an important part of the team. In my experience, I would never have been able to get my blood sugar down to where it is with just medication, Alex said. Alex urges everyone out there to talk to their GP and to organise a plan to see an Accredited Exercise Physiologist.
