Hi Rebecca, Go for it! All great suggestions above. Also check out www.teambloodglucose.com and consider joining the TeamBG Sporty T1 Facebook group - you may well find someone who can join you in an event. Take a look at this vid to give you the basics (apologies if you already know all of...

Perhaps a bit off the question, but if you do a lot of exercise, you might be interested to hear that Torq have partnered with TeamBG and launched a new 15g hypogel. It's super fast acting. Probably not something you want to have to use regularly, but might want to consider having in your 'just...

To get the best results from walking (with regards to increasing insulin sensitivity and improving cardio and aerobic fitness) try varying your pace. http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/36/2/228?ijkey=68f82ad1de0111c13ec521fadcc2c4e5f89ccf9f&keytype2=tf_ipsecsha This study was one...

Hmmm, doesn't sound too likely based on your results. Best thing would be to get it checked out with the doctor. The good news is that anecdotally, many people who do begin to develop signs of neuropathy have been able to reverse some or all of the effects once they have got control of their...

Have you tried eating something else zero carb - so say a protein snack before exercise to see if this helps? I would be interested to know if it has the same, worse or possibly even better result?

Take a look at www.teambloodglucose.com too. The Sporty Facebook group is very supportive and is a great place for advice too.

Hi there, You might find this movie helpful - it explains why exercise is so beneficial and what it does within your body (the movie covers the basics of carbs first - but keep watching) Keep up the running :)

Hi there, Here's the latest movie released by Team Blood Glucose, designed to give anyone with or at risk of T2 diabetes the essential information. It covers diet and exercise. The film introduces the importance of 'GLUT4 transporters'. These are the helpful friends to us all as they play a...

Here's a movie to watch which will outline the basics. Take it easy at first - your body will have been through the mill before diagnosis.

Hi Elaine and welcome to the forum. I am based in the South West too. Have a good read of the posts on the forum - it's a great place to get information and support that should help both you and your husband. :)

Great you're getting more confident with exercise. With regards to yoga etc causing a BG rise, I would be a bit suspicious of that being down to the activity - only because a BG rise that you are referring to would ordinarily be in response to a significant elevation in heart rate (thus...

Hmmm - it depends really. I agree that you can't outrun a bad diet, but unfortunately it's not as simple as saying just by eating all the right things your BG will remain within the 'normal' range. What about when your heart rate is elevated to the point at which you get a stress response...

Hi @Southbeds, I figure that whenever people are motivated to monitor and try to make improvements to their blood glucose levels then it should be applauded. Blood glucose management isn't as straightforward as watching what you eat - the liver has a nasty habit messing up what would otherwise...

Hi there, you okay?

Yay! Hope you can make it!:)

Last year we had mainly T1 come along, some friends and family non-D and a handful of T2s. Hopefully we are gradually turning this around - certainly the event is open to all and everybody is welcome, whether non,pre,T1,T2 or even gestational. There will be a wealth of experience there. Come on...

Brilliant!:joyful:

That's great to know - thanks for feeding back. It would be nice to keep tabs to see if this was just a coincidence or if it can add another layer of evidence to the study.:)

That's great @Hipsterbetic! This forum is a great place to share and learn from others, but it's hard to beat meeting and sharing with others face to face - especially in a place where having diabetes is the 'norm'. :)

Whoop whoop!!!:joyful:
