Hi,
What you eat and what you do one day has a big impact on your FBG the next.
So, I thought I'd start this thread to see if there are others out there that enjoy incorporating physical activity as well as diet in the approach to dealing with T2. So that we can post what we are eating, our physical activities and their impact on BG.

Perhaps we can keep each other motivated, swap food (recipes, healthy restaurant choices) and exercise/activity ideas, ask each other questions about what we found helped the most in controlling BG levels?

I'll start the ball rolling :) ..

Let me know what you did, and any hints and tips for eating/doing the right things, keeping motivated etc.
Or if you have questions about what you could do if you are not currently very active, ask and see what people have to say.

FBG: 5.3 this morning (no meds)
