[QUOTE="viv k, post: 963079, member: 110575"] Hi Josephine, as long as you have access to plenty of test strips, I'd certainly get back into exercise. I was misdiagnosed type 2 over a year ago,and at that time while I ate a low carb/low GI diet, exercise was the [U]only[/U] effective way I could get my blood sugars down. 15 to 20 minutes on a stationary bike about an hour after eating would bring my levels down 3-4. A brisk 30 minute walk also worked. There are 2 ways that glucose is removed from the blood- 1 is via insulin, the other way is when muscles contract and take glucose out of the bloodstream. As diabetics we need to balance our glucose/carb intake, our insulin AND exercise. Obviously you need to talk to your doctor, but I'd suggest testing BG levels, doing 10-15 min exercise and then re-testing BG levels. The benefits of exercise are so important, we all need to be active. And as I'm sure you know being fit also reduces insulin resistance. For inspiration, check out the cycling team [URL]http://www.teamnovonordisk.com[/URL] , these guys manage top level cycling and type 1 diabetes. [/QUOTE]
