Recently however, I have been doing much more on the bike and have felt able to train harder, though I am hardly a cyclist. It's just 2 x 15 mins per day but cycling fast and made to feel 'that's enough'. The effect on BG levels has been significant with readings now frequently between 4.2 and 5.4. Most morning readings are 4.8 to 5.2.
Are any members who are familiar with cycling as a form of exercise able to comment on this? Is cycling a particularly effective form of exercise? I'm still eating a couple of slices of rye bread, porridge, wholewheat pasta and bananas throughout the day. My diet hasn't changed, but there is a noticable drop in BG levels and an increase in energy levels.
Running and cycling will also help to lose thigh fat.
