walking

It’s the last night on the West Highland Way for me, tomorrow I will complete the 96mile journey and the next day I will summit Ben Nevis. I have been wild camping the way, carrying my own supplies and tent etc. I was diagnosed in June 2021, I was in DKA and spent 2 nights in hospital. I...

I've always cycled and at 62yo I've kept it up after my diagnosis of diabetes 10 years ago. I wouldn't say I was fat, just that I have a pear-shaped tum. I saw this chart today which I found interesting as it says that walking is nearly three times as good as cycling in terms of burning off...

Hello, I’m having a recurring problem where sugars are good before a run or long walk, I eat a snack maybe a banana or similar, then 15 minutes into run/walk I’m dropping low then I spend the run/walk chomping on jelly babies but I’m low the whole time! Then of course when I stop boom they rise...

Hi all :) I have only been injecting for around a month but I am really struggling with any form of excersise. I am a very active person, always running around the house finding something to do, I take both of my dogs out separately every day and sometimes I like to just go for a walk by...

Hi I’ve been a Type 1 Diabetic for almost 14 years and I’m ashamed to say only the last few months have I recently got a grip of it. Since the Uk lockdown I’ve been able to focus on good control which for me means injecting more and having more insulin but I have found my weight has gone up...

Hi, I’ve noticed that both of my big toes are slightly numb and I’m wondering if this is something I should be worried about? Is it a sign of diabetic neuropathy or do you guys thinks it’s because I walk almost 8 hours a day? My doctor is away on vacation so I can’t contact him for five weeks...

A new sort of revolution seems to be taking place in the state of Maharashtra, India, for treatment of obesity, and for prevention and remission of type 2 diabetes. The greatest thing about this revolution is that it has been arrived at through participation of masses, and asks people to follow...

Presently I am trying an experiment which seems to be leading me to success about getting rid of my diabetes which I hope to achieve in three more months. I am do the following since 22nd April 2018. I walk everyday 4.5 kilometers within 45 minutes. I eat only twice in a day. All intakes...

I came across this link https://www.outsideonline.com/2125031/what-happens-your-body-thru-hike and wondered if any one had seen or heard of Kyle Boelte. He's an author and essayist and this story got published back in 2016. From the details he listed, he suggested, that he was pre-Type 2...

Hiya, I'm doing my GCSEs and gold dofe this year and I just wondered if anyone had any advice for this kind of stuff? I did my mocks not long after being diagnosed so I'm not confident, but I at least have an idea. I have done bronze and silver dofe, however, I dd both of them before being...

hiya, ive been diagnosed for 2 months now, and I signed up for gold dofe beforehand, I still want to go but i don't know how im going to manage everything. I've talked to my team and they say they are going to put me on the pump so i won't need to be doing loads of injections, and my dofe leader...

since diagnosis I have been walking much , much more. I also seem to have become a little unsteady on my feet. I think this might be that my body is simply not used to operating in the 5-6 range. Last night minor stumbles were replaced by a major fall. Walking home along the Embankment...

I've just bought a Garmin Vivofit to track my walking and encourage myself to set goals and lose weight. If anyone is interested I've set up a group on Garmin Connect called "UK Health Walking Group". If anyone has a Garmin Activity monitor feel free to join...

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)...
