Suggest any 3 reasons why a person with type 2 diabetes might have trouble with following the recommendations for diet and exercise to effectively manage her diabetes


These individuals may feel very tired and may not want to exercise. Studies have shown that regular exercise can help stabilize blood glucose levels since the muscle cells may become more sensitive to the effects of insulin.
