11,000 steps today, and the two previous days too. Just going for a walk round the local park every day, plus walking to the shops and back with my mum.

I'm a hobby cyclist too. I used to cycle to work every day, but at weekends I'd go and cycle round the London parks, along the canal, etc. I had a pretty heavy city bike too, so my pace was always sedate. I've just moved back to the UK after 11 years in Turkey and I'm planning to buy a flat, a...

Dates work for me. And they are higher on the glycemic index than dextrose.

I'm visiting my Mum in a smallish town in Notts. Managed to hit 11,000 or 12,000 steps in each of the last three days. And since I'm usually carrying her shopping, I'll count that as a little weight training too!

Today I've done 13,000 and planning on the rest of the evening loafing in front of the TV

I find 3.5 hours but I rarely take more than 4.5 units. The more units, the longer the 'tail' of the dose.

SunPat is my favorite because it's just peanuts, peanut oil and salt. All the 'trendy' brands they sell in Whole Foods contain palm oil, and palm oil gives me IBS. So cheapest is best for me. Also, I sometimes make my own. All you need is raw peanuts, an oven to toast them for 10 minutes at...

I've not been logging my exercise but I'm back in the UK so my walking has soared. Nearly 17,000 steps yesterday, and averaging about 7,000 a day since arrival. I love walking in London!

Yes. Exactly the same. Hot weather and loaded with insulin from the end of the vial. Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Getting back on topic, your tiredness may be due to something else. Tiredness after eating can be a symptom of anemia, especially if it is happening very often. Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

I agree with you. I think it was very unfortunate and the outcomes are not likely to be what the Brexiteers promised. I just think it is best to try to understand people's reasoning. And about a month ago the IMF, no less, admitted that the 'austerity' packages that they have been forcing on...

I know I'm really boring because I am more than your mother's age, I am sure, but really on those days when you have things squashed up against each other like that, you need a packed lunch! I think that idea is probably pretty horrifying to someone your age but it is the kind of thing that you...

Yes, you met a silly muggle (=non-diabetic). This one could go in the thread about 'stupid things people have said to me'. Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

I'm OK. More p***ed off than anything. The 'people' have been instructed to 'fill the squares' every night in a show of 'people power' so every night sounds like a bunch of footie fans celebrating winning the World Cup right through till 5am. I'm thinking, 'Some of us go to work. What about the...

Stress increases insulin resistance so increase your basal rate by 10%. That's what I learned this week. That and find a corner you can sit in which is out of the line of fire when the crowd is running around outside 'reclaiming the country' and there are gunshots in the garden. [emoji35] And...

Hi samael, I'm going to come at this problem from a different angle. I have Type 1 and hypothyroidism. My son has schizophrenia and is on Abilify, which is causing some weight gain for him. You've got lots of good advice here, but it all requires quite a lot of motivation, which is one of the...

And I recommend Diabetic Athlete's Handbook. It will help you understand how to deal successfully with the various ways exercise can alter your insulin requirements. Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app
