Welcome to this podcast series on diabetes, brought to you by the National Diabetes Education Program or NDEP. NDEP is a joint initiative of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health.
When you’re sitting around wondering what to do, fight off the blues and put on your shoes. You can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes by moderate intensity physical activity like dancing or walking. Move it up, move it down, take a walk all over town. Here’s some music to help you start moving!
This podcast features Put on My Shoes – taken from the NDEP Step by Step music CD/DVD promoting increased physical activity.
