[QUOTE="stayingalive, post: 2364526, member: 440735"] I'm type one but in both cases exercise is a lot of the answer. Especially after eating. I have to monitor my blood sugar all the time because being type one and on insulin my blood sugar goes up and down a lot. So I know very well that if I eat carbs and then do a long walk (ideally with an up hill bit) my blood sugar remains stable. Low carb is good, but if that's too difficult, walking further after more carbs is good too. Indoor exercise is somehow not as good but I do have a kettlebell I swing around when the weather makes a long walk too horrible. Loosing weight helps a lot but I am finding this difficult during lockdown - but your Mum may have better self control than I do! Good luck to you both. [/QUOTE]
