 Individuals
with type 1 diabetes should avoid exercise if fasting
blood glucose is higher than 250 mg/dl and ketones are
present. Caution should be used if glucose levels are
higher than 300 and no ketones are present. Individuals
with type 2 diabetes should avoid exercise if blood
glucose is higher than 400 mg/dl. Monitoring blood
glucose before, after and possibly during physical
activity is necessary to keep blood glucose within an
appropriate range.

Stay Committed to your Goals
 Commitment
is absolutely necessary in order to achieve goals. You
can say you will do something, but until you actually
make a decision to commit to it and follow through with
the relevant steps, you will most likely not see
progress and achievement towards that desired outcome.
Setbacks are bound to happen. Rather than letting each
problem de-motivate you from your goal, treat set backs
as learning experiences. This is especially helpful if
your goal is simply to land a job. For each rejection
letter, ask for a little feedback that may help you
succeed when applying to other jobs.
Record your progress in a journal or reflect on all the
work you've accomplished so far. This will keep you
motivated as you move toward your goal.
