Hi there, Your liver is kicking out glucose as a stress response to your higher heart rate - you are obviously working quite hard when you run, which is great. What you may find however is if you want to bring your blood glucose levels down, just run a little slower, or combine your running...

Off for an hour's ride now.:) Now where did I put my bib shorts?....

Hey peacetrain, To be at the other end of the scale doesn't bear thinking about. You're a star.;)

I am aware that some people experience high blood glucose rises with exercise - particularly relating to exercising on an empty stomach or first thing in the morning in conjunction with dawn phenomena. Unfortunately I haven't seen any scientific evidence as yet to back this up (perhaps the...

Did a 30min stomp down to the river with the dogs this morning, then 20mins kick about football in the field with the dogs this evening. Pretty tricky, because the ball's gone flat, so you have to dribble it for ever to get the air back into it after it's been squashed by a dog's...

Hi there, Sounds like you've already discovered that high intensity exercise can give you a blood glucose rise! Certainly you can correct for the high, you just need to be aware that your blood glucose levels will drop later on in the day as your liver and muscles re-stock their glycogen...

Ha ha ha ha ha ha...exotic ethnic dance troop in nighties! Ha ha ha!:joyful:

That's brilliant ! It suggests that your son doesn't lack motivation. Point him in the direction of the 'Sporty Diabetic type 1's' facebook group - he will find loads of people there who share info on blood glucose management and sports and exercise. He can find the link from the website.:)...

Don't you have any chairs?:D

'But it's a talking dog!' Love that film!;)

Hi there Limelight, You will get loads of fantastic support and information from the good people on this forum. I have to agree with the advice above, that unless there is very good reason for following a lower carb diet then your doctor is misinformed. No doubt you will shortly be getting more...

It does happen heleedee, When my husband got diagnosed, his doctor initially wanted to give a type 2 diagnosis, but it turned out to be type 1 - although there were some pretty severe symptoms that developed over a relatively short period of time. As I say - much better to know for sure though...

Hi heleedee, It wouldn't do any harm to get tests done for type 1. Are you exhibiting any of the symptoms at all? Weight loss, thirst, frequent visits to the bathroom etc. What your metformin should be doing is reducing the amount of glucose that your liver puts into your bloodstream (this...

That's great @julifriend! I was missing your daily walk updates - will you carry on posting them on the Sporty Forty thread? There's something very reassuring about seeing you post your day's activity.:happy: Bx

That's great Zand! For saying you're not feeling up to much, that is a considerable achievement. :) Crikey, there's nothing wrong with me and I'm only up to 30mins (Oh! Oh! 32mins - I did a 2minute dance for Scandichic) I didn't half feel a plonka dancing around in the kitchen! - scared the new...

Andyyyyyyyy! Ahem, not over-excited to see you back at all! Like your avitar. ;)

I was wondering about sport too @lizdeluz If your son could be persuaded to get involved in sport, why not suggest he takes a look at www.teambloodglucose.com . We've even got a cycle ride coming up this weekend he might like to come along to. The whole ethos of TeamBG is about encouraging...

Lol! Shows how much I know about football - I had to look up to see who Drogba was!:facepalm:

Just been able to get a better look - so perhaps somewhere around Yamoussoukro? It looks amazing - some stunning architecture, fantastic landscape and wonderful culture. Do take photos and let us know how you get on. Do you speak French? :pompous: (Today in my head, French speaking shall mostly...

Yay! Did my run this morning - only 25mins, but the day is still young!;)
