[QUOTE="claymic, post: 606887, member: 41723"] Hi I have read somewhere that if you are on insulin you should exercise after you eat so you start burning sugar. I want to start exercising again because I am putting on so much weight after starting insulin. Btw I am on novomix 30. At lunchtime i can eat and then go for about 25 mins walk. Testing 2hrs after lunch its usually less than before lunch. I am struggling to exercise after dinner though. We eat quite late so after i just want to chill plus having just eaten i struggle. I used to manage better when doing some exercise as soon I come in from work. But then if I test about 1.5 hrs later before dinner i used to find it higher than the post lunch one. I do not do mega high intensity as I am very overweight and very unfit. Should I still try and do something after dinner or should I do it earlier when it is more likely that actually will do more exercise more frequently? Thanks :) [/QUOTE]
