Hello all,
Fbgs still a bit higher than usual for me after reintroducing exercise, but slowly coming down. Fasting levels yesterday were 5.5 and 5.4 today. Hoping this trend will continue.
@DJC3 -- Thanks so much for your commiserations. Also seriously impressed with your open sea swimming. Very courgeous. Remember swimming in the North Sea once in early summer when temperatures were 11 degrees centigrad, skin was veritably burning when I got into the water and after getting out.
@PenguinMum -- Hugs. Thank you so much for your kind thoughts. Agree with
@ianpspurs -- you are such a kind and caring person, this is very obvious. Good luck with your second Pfizer vaccine. Keeping my fingers crossed that blood sugars will behave.
@nutribolt -- Hugs and fingers crossed for your HbA1c. I still think that the result will be great, though I empathize what you are going through with Magic -- very taxing. I can't imagine how I will feel when our cat will start having health problems.
@OCat -- I usually exercise late in the evening after a glass of wine. Wine seems to limit the rise (due to limiting glucose release from the liver), still don't necessarily recommend it as strategy. Initially during the first few years after diagnosis, I found a sharp rise (maybe up to 7.0) and then a fast drop and after some time a rebound to normal levels. Now, it is a lower rise, but a more gradual drop, but no more lows. Haven't really tested the impact of food on exercise, though (the reason being that personally I hate eating when I am not hungry).
