Hi friends,
I was watching tv with my kids and accepted a little piece of cake and some pork jerky (which will have some sugar in it). I know that's not optimal, but it was tiny amounts. I did a quick test (probably about 1hr after eating) and was 8.9. That's a bit higher than I'd expected, so I went outside and jumped rope for 3 minutes, then 3 minute rest- for three sets. Then I walked for about 10 minutes to cool down. My next blood test, within an hour of the previous one, was 5.1.
The drop was better than I'd been expecting, and I would really like to investigate the effects of exercise.
Could any other diabetics and pre-D out there post up some of their findings RE exercise?
I've heard it raises some people's BG, and I've heard it can improve insulin response. If anyone out there has any numbers, advice or anecdotes on this subject, I'd love to hear it!
