[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2624313, member: 506169"] Hi [USER=566649]@Ronniemoo[/USER] I'm afraid that if you are going to get any reasonable answer to your questions you will need to supple more information as is mentioned above. As for experience of BG levels dropping, I went low car (eating to my meter) within about 3 weeks of being diagnosed with T2D. Blood Glucose dropped noticeably in the first week of Low Carb, but not after that since I was eating to my meter! Of course my HbA1C was still dropping as was my weight because HbA1C is approximately a 3 month average indication of BG level and any weight loss takes time (mine was at around 1 and a half to 2lbs per week) - again because I was eating to my meter and not actively trying to lose weight! Both my HbA1V and my weight dropped over the next 6 months even though I didn't notice a difference in my BG levels. This may have been due to needing less glucose to be dumped from my liver at times when I wasn't measuring my BG. Steroids are one of the medications which badly affect high blood glucose. Cardio exercise tends to play little part in reducing BG compared with what you eat. But if you enjoy it, then go ahead and do more that a 30 min brisk walk 5 times per week. Alternatively do some resistance exercise or some weight in order to build muscle which will act as a store of glucose and so help reduce your BG levels. [/QUOTE]
