exercise

Hellooooooo Every time I go cycling I have to carry a bag with me to keep snacks in, this is annoying during hot weather as the snacks get warm and my back is agitated by the bag! What do you all do in preparation of exercise? I wish I wasn't so scared of low blood sugars while I am far away...

Hi everyone, This is the first time I've tried anything like this but I've been having major problems recently since I started upping the amount of running that I do with having low blood sugars particularly at night. I'm type 1 on multiple injections a day and I've done the dafne course so...

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...

I am somewhat uncertain as to how to proceed - advice please. I am 74, diagnosed 3 months ago as having type 2 diabetes. Added sugar has been eliminated from my diet and I am careful re carb intake - I have cut choolate, honey and potatoes HBA1c now down to 48. I also have mildly elevated...

I've been a t1 for 48 years. A few years back, I was diagnosed with Charcot Foot, which curtailed most of my typical exercising (walking, swimming). Now I find I've gained so much weight - I'm up to 16 stone. Any ideas or suggestions out there for exercise for those who can't walk or stand?

Hi - just curious as to how much exercise you all do? I've read exercise is a must (for those who can) so good but too much will cause your blood glucose to temporarily increase so bad. I just wondered what your good was and if you ever had a bad. My testing kit arrives today so I'll be able...

There are regular posts on the forum about training and exercise, and how to make it easier, what to do with regards to insulin and how to deal with food. At the PWDC this weekend, we saw huge amounts of interest in exercise and how to manage your regime whilst undertaking everything from Weight...

Hello! I would love your feedback on.. How helpful would a bracelet (example: FitBit) be to your life style and emotional well-being. The bracelet would monitor your steps, distances traveled, calories burned, and the time (like a watch). In addition to the bracelet, it would be connected with...

Hello Everyone, I hope that you are all doing very well. I need your suggestions on the following matters which are related to exercise/activity (I know that there is a different forum for this subject but, I thought I’d begin from here). I have a series of questions. Lately, I have started to...

Hi - I've not had a debilitating hypo for some time now and my control is getting much better with the Expert meter. However I do occasionally go below 4mmol especially after unexpected exercise such as chasing sheep that have escaped etc. I sometimes think that my consultant expects zero hypos...

I have been doing some more research for TeamBG (www.teambloodglucose.com) recently around using exercise to manage Type 2 diabetes. We all know that in theory it's a good thing, (I'm currently putting together a video to explain exactly why and how exercise helps manage blood glucose control)...
