Paul and Mira Sorvino are dancing together in an effort to incorporate a new form
of exercise into Paul's diabetes management plan and help Paul on his journey to
better blood sugar control. Click through the videos above and join Paul and Mira
as they explain the importance of making lifestyle changes and the value of a support
system for people living with diabetes, while inspiring others to stay active through
dance!
Physical fitness is an important part of Paul's overall diabetes treatment plan
and with their talent as performers, dancing together is a great way for Paul to
maintain an active lifestyle and for Mira to continue her supporting role as his
"Diabetes Co-Star." Some of the dances were challenging, but breaking them down
piece by piece made them easier to manage, just like Paul and Mira’s approach for
managing diabetes - one step at a time.
Speak with your doctor before starting a new physical activity. Changing your fitness
routine may require adjustments to other parts of your treatment plan or medications
that you are taking. With your doctor's help and support, you should be able to
safely do many physical activities.
