exercise

Hi everyone, I'm Jude and I have been Type 1 Diabetic for 6 years now. Trying to really get on top of my diabetes so thought this was a good place to do that. Hope to connect with some Diabetics and learn from them. I try to exercise 3-4 times a week (this tends to cause my Diabetes to act...

This is an awesome forum I have been following awhile- its 50 years ahead of diabetes education in Australia! I'm 'diet controlled type 2', in fact my numbers often show I'm 'not diabetic' but the symptoms are still there, I have hypos (two nearly killed me as they are not widely recognised in...

Hiya! I was diagnosed a year ago (Jan 2017, happy anniversary to me) with Type 1. I'm 26... So I've always been really active, however in the past year due to diabetes related complications, I had to cut down on the exercise. I've started getting back into training again (both running and...

Hi friends, I was watching tv with my kids and accepted a little piece of cake and some pork jerky (which will have some sugar in it). I know that's not optimal, but it was tiny amounts. I did a quick test (probably about 1hr after eating) and was 8.9. That's a bit higher than I'd expected, so I...

I want to exercise badly to lose weight and lower HbA1c. But I feel so weak and don’t have energy on low carb diet. Please help!

Hi! I did 2 hard(ish) runs today and my BG keeps crashing down even though I havent taken any Novorapid today. I keep spooning jam in to my mouth but it raises BG levels just slightly.. I have counted that I have taken about 350 Carbs in the last 4 hours and still my meters shows values around...

Two questions for my informed friends here!... 1. Can/does strength training (no cardio) cause RHers problems with insulin response/secretion post-exercise? I ask as even after short sessions of lifting things I feel shaky and very responsive to carbs after.. 2. My dietician suggested I find...

Copied from an article on the ModernMedicine Network site. (I am finding lots of interesting videos and articles on this site. To view the one I quote below you have to subscribe, but it costs nothing.) "Thwarting the progression to diabetes Weight loss and increased physical activity can...

Hello everyone, I was diagnosed Type 2 in June 2017, my blood test showed readings of 92 mmol/mol and my cholesterol was 5. Decided not to take Metformin and go low carb and exercise route! Just had my 3 month blood test end of September, the readings were 49 mmol/mol and 3.8 cholesterol. I...

Yesterday I completed a 100 push-up a day challenge. I set this goal alongside my regualar weight and cardio training as an extra, and did not treat this as part of my regime. At first I was doing 100 push-ups in 10 minutes. The protocol was 30 push-ups with an active rest of front kick, side...

Hi all, Just looking for experience with basal management and exercise (I'm personally on MDI but I think this also affects pumpers) - and actually more importantly, on days that you don't? I usually exercise Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays (although will sometimes miss out a day) and have never...

I find it really difficult to lose weight. I am 10 stone 13 (not sure if this is overweight or not?) But I have been this weight for years and I struggle to lose weight and I find exercising very tiring though I want to be more active, I just struggle to find the motivation to do so.

Hello, I'm fairly new to these forums but was diagnosed with pre-diabetes some years ago. I've been inspired by the advice here and have recently adjusted my diet towards lower carbs. So far I haven't seen any reduction in my HBA1c level, but this may be because I need to take the carbs even...

What exercise are you doing daily or so?

Hey everyone, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in August of last year (11 months ago) and was given Abasaglar and Humalog for treatment. I was taking between 15-20 units a day and nce my blood settled I was taking between 5-10 units a day which still isn't a lot. However a few months ago I...

I have insulin resistance. My insulin level fasting is 24/25. I've been having trouble losing the hundred pounds I put on for more than a year now. I eat pretty healthy and I do exercise, sometimes I eat carbs. But when I do or don't eat carbs it doesn't make much of a difference. I went to a...

I'm starting at the gym tomorrow morning at 10am. I am on a pump and haven't exercised for as long as I can remember. I've booked a session with a personal trainer to get me started so it could be a bit full on. I'm female, 48, Type 1 for 30 years. Any advice on what to eat for breakfast? I...

Hello all :) My name is Brianna and i live in Australia. I am 20 and have had Type 1 diabetes since i was 4, so i guess you could say i haven't known any different. So i get really frustrated with working out as a diabetic. I really enjoy going to the gym and working out however my diabetes...

I would be grateful for any personal recommendations please! I have seen NHS nutritionist but feel as if it would be useful to see someone who really understands Type 1s. I believe low carb or ketogenic is the way to go but despite having stable blood sugars when fasting, it all goes wrong...
