Hi Lambey, Absolutely - if you have the opportunity to have a pump then I would suggest you try it. Most people I know who exercise regularly are on a pump and wouldn't go back. As you say, the control that you have is far better and long term you want exercise to benefit your health, not be the...

That's brilliant onky, Great that you have found a form of exercise you really enjoy. I shall have to look that up myself now - it sounds very interesting.:)

Good luck! Hey - it's boring to be sane! Bring on the madness!:p

Yay! Three runs this week and a couple of planks - I wasn't betting on doing much, so I feel squids in!;)

It's the weekend @Pollylocks! Be brave!

It's just as my friend @julifriend says - I when your heart rate rises significantly you can get a stress response within your body that triggers your liver to release glucose into the bloodstream. A way to manage this is to combine more moderate exercise with the higher intensity exercise -...

That's brilliant ElyDave! Congratulations! How did your BG management go? What did you eat to keep you going?

Hi there Sue, I hope you got on okay with your gym session. May I ask - what is your insulin regime? Without knowing how you and when you're injecting it's hard to offer much guidance. Low carb is definitely a safer option - fewer carbs means less insulin, and therefore less chance of error...

Sorry I've not been here for a bit, We're getting pretty manic with work and counting down to the TeamBG mHealth Grand Tour at the end of August (a cycle ride of a mere 2,300km over 15days!) Before you ask, no of course I'm not doing it but hubby is. (Must be mad!) Lots of worky work sat glued...

Well said Pipp! I don't think it should matter what we do - let's face it there are always going to be people who are fitter and more able than us (unless we've got a professional athlete amongst us keeping a low profile - perhaps @sanguine is a closet Ironman?) so the only person we can compete...

Zand, if you can raise your heart rate significantly for 3mins or so and be able to manage down the blood glucose rise afterwards (you may actually have to do 15mins or so of walking afterwards to do this) then you're on to a winner. Just be careful you don't do yourself an injury over those...

Hi there, Great you're doing plenty of exercise, and congratulations on the weight loss! Just so that you know, for an average person, an hour's cycle at a moderate intensity pace would be fuelled with between say 50 - 60 grams of carb. So if you wanted a completely guilt free plate of pasta...

Yayyyyyy!:D:D:D Smokin' hot today Zand!

Welcome home @Jamrox !!:joyful::D:cool::happy: Hope you had a fantastic time! Wonderful photos - that was like a whirlwind mini break just looking through those!

Oh love, You have been on an emotional roller coaster. Something has to give at some point. So you had a bit of a wobble - what's great is that you're still here on the forum sharing and you haven't gone radio silent and started down a slippery slope. That is a major positive and you should...

Have you used one of these? I've used something similar before now and it certainly relieves pain. Gets jolly hot mind you (perhaps not something that appeals in this weather). Anyway, it might be worth considering if it doesn't seem to be improving.x...

Are you just in a bit of a slump do you think? You've had a lot going on recently - perhaps you need to cut yourself a bit of slack and not worry so much about what you're not doing, and focus on all the good things you are doing - which includes giving all of us encouragement to keep going.:)

Hard drugs?

Sorry hon.:( I bet your visit was appreciated though.x

That sounds nice - How's your Aunt Zand?
