[QUOTE="RuthW, post: 962749, member: 148713"] Walking burns a lot of blood sugar so you need to test your blood sugar before you start, then twenty or thirty minutes in, then again every thirty minutes, basically, until you get your "pattern" worked out. You may be starting with too high a blood sugar, which leaves you feeling awful and tired. Or you may be running out of blood sugar. The second, though, would tend to leave you feeling weak and shaky. It easy to handle, however, in that you just need to carry a couple of energy bars with you to eat if you go low. However, another reason you may be feeling lousy is that you probably had DKA at the time you were diagnosed and that can take a few weeks to get over. As you learn more about your diabetes you will be able to get your energy back. Have a look on the Sports and Fitness boards here. We have marathon runners, weight lifters, triathletes, etc. This is not the end of your vitality. In fact, it should get better once you are treated. [/QUOTE]
