Why Add a Pedometer to a Pump or Glucose Meter? •  Allows you to track and calculate the exact amount of exercise in a day. This can help tighten control and increase awareness of exercise to motivate you to exercise more for your diabetes daily care. •  Studies have shown that 38 min a day or 4,400 steps can reduce A1c by 0.4% saving people up to $288 in healthcare cost annually. •  Studies have also shown that 90 min a day or 10,000 steps can reduce A1c by 1.1%, and decrease daily insulin needs by 25%. •  Walking 10,000 steps a day saved people $1200 in healthcare annually.
