People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
Have now been going to gym initially from a gp referral scheme.
Under this scheme I get a personal trainer who writes down my pre gym level, 1/2 way through level and end level and then I have to text or phone him one hour after with my levels.
I cannot be allowed to start gym if levels are outside 4.4 to 13.8 or at any time they stray outside these perimeters.
So I ensure I go at a level of 7.3 to 8.0..
Today I had 3 mouthfuls of a pecan homemade sort of pie thing an hour before I started. Brilliant result for gym... Was 8.3 at start. 7.7 1/2 way through and 8.2 at end. Without any altering of basals or having to eat high carb food.
Was literally 3 bites.
So chuffed with myself.
I know my levels were a tad higher than I wished but the previous time I went I intentionally got them up to 8.0 and 1/2 way through they dropped to 5.6 so I had to have a gluco juice.
Dead chuffed as no faffing around and jyst 3 bites needed to keep me level... Result!!!
Plus fact I have trainer for 12 weeks and can then go without him being with me.
It is superb. I've never really liked gyms to be honest but this extra level of a trainer that really has knowledge of how long a diabetic should do, how many rpm and heartbeat etc is for a diabetic is absolutely brilliant. For the first time ever ref gym I can honestly say I can't wait to go each time.
Personal trainer also does overall workout and totally takes into account things like treadmill that I dislike but he really puts me through my paces!!
Loving it.
