Sense features for Seniors, Type 1 Diabetes and Spinal Stenosis

[Auldjohn]

I'm looking for exercises and activities appropriate for senior citizens, especially those of us with spinal stenosis. I am also strongly interested in carb counting and insulin dosage rather than calorie .intake. Long-term Type 1 (insulin-dependent) Diabetes for 51 years -- with no major complications. 

I replaced earlier smartwatch clones with a new Fitbit Sense.

Hey @Auldjohn, it's great to see you here. Great choice getting the Fitbit Sense. 

Sorry about your condition. Since when did it start? If you are in pain from spinal stenosis, you probably don't even want to think about exercising. Good thing is that exercise, stretching, and movement can actually help you to relieve your spinal stenosis pain. I found this really helpful article, but it's always best if you check this with your doctor. 

I loved these tips too: Community Blog: Tips For Healthy Aging, by Marie Nichols. You can take a moment to read them. 😉

Since you're strongly interested in carb counting check our nutrition blog: What’s the Best Diet for Diabetes? An Expert Weighs In and 4 Easy Exercises That Can Help You Manage Diabetes.

Keep me posted.

Read both blogs and found them useful -- to a point. I responded to each blogger with positive feedback along with specific questions and suggestions.

Thanks for your help.
