If your job requires you to do a lot of sitting, make sure you take frequent breaks especially if you are diabetic. The ADA’s 2020 Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes recommends doing a light activity for every 30 minutes of uninterrupted sitting. Sitting increases insulin resistance, and it also increases blood pressure and impedes blood flow. I know that this is tough to do now after the state has been on lockdown for so long. But give it a try go down to Point Lobos or the beach, and even try taking a walk around the block!
