As revealed by a new government report, more than half of diabetic American adult has arthritis too. This is the case especially in older adults (65 years old and above) who have diabetes.
In diabetes, lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet and exercise regimen is critical in the management of diabetes. But then in these older adults, they are not able to exercise because they have arthritis too.

…if you have osteoarthritis!!
Especially if you cannot go outside because it has been raining day and night this weekend. Believe it or not, it has been raining cats and dogs out here for the last 3-4-5 days now. I cannot really remember how long because it now feels like forever.
I hate it like this because I often walk around the (our) house, from the back yard to the front, and back again and again, as long as my legs wouldn’t hurt yet. Sometimes in the morning or in the afternoon. I love stretching my legs sometimes, more on weekends because I really need a good break from online and computer stuff (that I do sitting down) and more so because I really need the exercise.
