Transcript

00:00Did you know diabetes behaves differently after age 60?

00:04Not worse, just different.

00:06Understanding these gentle changes makes managing your health easier and more empowering.

00:13Today, let's explore the simple truths your doctor may not always explain.

00:18As we age, our metabolism naturally slows.

00:23Your body handles sugar more slowly, not dramatically, just gently.

00:29Knowing this helps you adjust meals and daily habits with ease.

00:34Muscle acts like a sponge that absorbs sugar.

00:38After 60, we naturally lose muscle mass unless we actively maintain it.

00:43Just 5 minutes of strength training a day can steady your sugar levels.

00:48Nerves become more delicate as we age.

00:52That's why tingling or numbness matters.

00:54Listening early, without fear, helps you protect the areas needing extra care.

01:00After 60, your body becomes more sensitive to medications.

01:05The same dose may affect you differently than it did at 50.

01:10That's not a problem.

01:12Just something to monitor with your doctor.

01:14Choose foods that are kind to your blood sugar.

01:18Whole grains, leafy greens, beans, nuts and low sugar fruits.

01:24Small balanced meals are easier for your body.

01:28No big spikes, no big crashes.

01:30As we age, we lose our sense of thirst.

01:36Even mild dehydration raises blood sugar.

01:40A glass of water every 2 hours helps you feel steadier throughout the day.

01:45A 10-minute walk after meals works like a natural blood sugar stabilizer.

01:51Gentle movements are often more effective and enjoyable than strict routines.

01:56Diabetes management isn't just physical.

02:01Stress affects sugar levels.

02:04And brain exercises reduce that stress.

02:07Try simple daily drills, finger-tapping patterns, word-recall games and step-and-tap coordination.

02:15Just 3 minutes a day can improve your balance, mood and focus.

02:20You've faced challenges before.

02:22Managing diabetes after 60 is not about perfection.

02:28It's about kindness toward your body and confidence in your abilities.
