Generational Gene: Cycling for Diabetes Prevention
Generational Gene may seem a special case; a middle-aged school superintendent with a father and grandfather who’ve contracted Type 2 diabetes, Gene is at high risk to develop the condition.
But Gene is like a huge percentage of North Americans over the age of 40 who, because of elevated blood sugar, are at risk for diabetes and cancer. In this episode, we learn how he’s taken on this challenge.
“I really do see the relationship between exercise and prolonging my life as a parent,” Gene confides, having become an avid cyclist.
Expert commentary here comes from two respected authorities, Drs. Michael Riddell of York University and Sheri Colberg, author of a dozen books on the subject, both of whom have Type 1 diabetes.
Gene credits his Dad for instilling an early love of cycling that he hopes to pass onto his own daughter. Tune in to find out how Gene’s working to avoid one other family tendency - the development of Type 2 diabetes.
