@DJC3 I still have all the equipment and it is set up but in very odd places. The garage conversion was to be a gym but is still a floor to ceiling warehouse. The exercise bike only fits in the 2nd bedroom for now. Initially that was fine but MIL is in a bubble with Julie and has used it a couple of times plus all the alterations have meant turmoil. I used the bike again Friday and must use the weight machine as well - not happy with it in a bedroom. The bike is also a little too heavy for my peace of mind especially when I sprint. That is a big factor in my disillusion with the move which in turn impacts on my disenchantment with this woe. Until we and the boys are vaccinated things won't change much. They can then move things and I will push for an A1c - well over a year now but that was impacted by treatment for cancer I think/hope. I know this is a long game but if it was a football manager it feels long past the time it would be sacked for poor results and dire tactics. I would put up with the manifold issues for good results - big pressure on next A1c. I need to force myself to take pleasure in other people's success rather than my current failure. I look at you for e.g. and bang my head against a wall in despair.@ziggy_w and @Goonergal you both mention evening exercise doesn’t cause such a spike, that’s interesting. I always go in the morning in a fasted state. I often feel a bit sick with some of the exercises so I’d be worried about doing them unless my stomach was empty!
I’ve tried doing the same thing at home in the evening and I don’t get the same sort of spike but I’d assumed that it was because I’m not working as hard without the PT telling me I’m ‘smashing it’ . Maybe it just because it’s evening.
@ianpspurs do you still have your home gym? I know you used to use the exercise bike a lot.
