[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1513956, member: 355878"] You are only just starting out with this new way of life which can seem rather perplexing at times. Give yourself time to adapt - it isn't the end of everything and it isn't any sort of punishment. Yes you will probably have to live with being diabetic, but there are far worse fates. Your readings before and after exercise are perfectly normal. Staying hydrated is good, though sometimes the gym could be a bit too hectic. I have always found leisurely cycling to be a very beneficial way to get moving - as well as being useful in that I can go and run some messages at the same time. I think it depends what suits you best, though alternating between the two might also prove effective. You are very fortunate to have monthly consultations. Admittedly I have lowered my Hba1c to normal - but the only doctor I have seen since diagnosis last November called me in to try to get me back on statins, my diabetes was not even mentioned. I have been eating a low carb diet for decades, whenever I could get away with it, and find that I am a lot more cheerful without dense starch or sugary foods [/QUOTE]
