My doc told me to exercise to get my levels down when they go above 15.
I just joined a gym and when I went in today my reading was 22, after an hour's exercise it was 15. But the gym instructor was not happy and said he would find some facts. He phoned me later and said I shouldn't exercise when my levels are over 15 as it could lead to ketinosis.
I've googled ketinosis and it says if you are 14.9 or above ON WAKING, 'do not exercise'. I think my gym instructor has been looking on the internet and has overlooked the 'on waking ' part. I don't understand why it says 'do not exercise'. If exercising brings the levels down, why not do it?
Can anyone offer advice please?
(I am type 2, have been diagnosed diabetic for 12 years, I take all the usual tablets plus levermir and victosa. My waking levels are around 8 but during the day I can get to 22 and before bed its usually around 14.)
