Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Hi Pema I thought that statement was very interesting. Do you have any documentation that supports this theory? If there a website I could research it at? chant Outgoing Mail Certified Virus Free NAV 2002 It has now been proven that the diabetes CAUSES the obesity, not the other way around.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Pema here is a link for chair calisthenics with pictures. Maybe these would be possible for you to do, even if you could only do some. There are three parts to the series, you can get the others from the archives. It's an excellent workout and at least your wouldn't have to worry about falling.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Dear Kristy, I've answered in point form below: Kristy wrote: I don't agree with what is saying. And as you say it's just a theory. And even if there is something that supports the theory it's just that person's opinion doesn't make it a fact but as I say I don't agree with what she's saying. **Pema: Perhaps I worded that badly, but it has been on television here and also my doctor told me too - BUT, it was that Diabetes causes WEIGHT CHANGE from low to high or vice versa. Sorry about that. > The biggest reason that I don't agree with her is b/c if that were the case then Type 1s would have an answer for their Diabetes too but that's not the problem with them. Also, while it's true that a lot of people with Type 2 are obese as one of the other members said as well as the genetics that isn't the case in all cases. **Pema: I also went from super thin to medium to super thin and then slowly began to put on weight that wouldn't budge no matter what I did. I cannot remember the technicalities my doctor explained to me, but will try to find out more. I have no history of Diabetes in my family that I am aware of and they are all very thin, as I was too before the onset of Diabetes.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Dear Chant, Thank you for that. I had a look and I do all these and more while sitting in bed in the morning and then on the edge of the bed, but I also do yoga as well and I do these exercises in my chair about three or four times a day. They are very good. I could not just sit in a chair all day and not move! chant wrote: > Pema here is a link for chair calisthenics with pictures.
