So now that autumn is here and the weather is changing, a couple of things they would want to think about is that our weather is changing, it's getting colder and they were probably a little bit more active in the summer. So now that the autumn is here, they want to think about, well, what new exercise are they going to do in the autumn to keep them active and they keep their their blood sugars more stable. So the important thing is to get a new exercise but also not to think about that the weather's bad so I'm not going to be exercising. So it's good it's good and bad we have to think about the new exercise and not think about that the weather's bad it's raining out. I can't go for my walk to keep my blood sugars under control. So that's the I guess the number one thing to think about now that the autumn is coming. And then number two is for food. So it's less fresh food around now the autumn is coming and people want to go to more starchy food and more more stews and soups which is okay but as a diabetic you want to try to keep control of your carbohydrates so you're not having too much starchy foods because starch is too many carbohydrates so you want to balance your protein your carbs and your fats while still having more hearty foods for the autumn.
