[QUOTE="Deano72, post: 2053897, member: 499236"] I’m no expert on any of this stuff, but learning tons as I go along. Sadly, some knowledge has come through trial & error and although my habits have changed so dramatically it’s hard to believe, I still sin & likely always will... For me exercise makes a huge difference. If I go out for a 10-15 mile bike ride, or do a 5 mile walk in advance of treating myself (maybe with a few beers & a meal out) I see no change in BG results (if I have a lot of beer, fbg is slightly elevated the following day). If I maintain a decent amount of cycling & walking daily (or most days at least) this has a positive effect on all my BG tests. When I was on the ND I generally had a fasting result around 4-4.5 & postprandial around 5.5. When I reintroduced food (mainly low carb, but not strict. 70-100 grams per day typically) these increased to 5-6 fasting & 6-7 postprandial. With regular exercise (which I’ve slowly introduced & increased since finishing the ND) & the same diet (with or without occasional treats) I’m at 5-<6 fasting & postprandial is more like 5.5-6.5. So I think exercise may have a different level of benefit for different people. Maybe for those of us who struggle with strict low carbing it’s a must. I’m also very aware things can change & just when you think you’re figuring this disease out a bullet from nowhere & you’re back in the danger zone! I’m still in the early days of this journey & have gained so much from reading the comments from others, but I’ve also learned we have to find our own way. Whether it’s advice from heath professionals, a strict diet, following LCHF, exercise in its many forms, medication, we’re all different. A big focus for me right now is reducing my fasting BG a bit (more trial & error), shaving a bit more weight off (currently less than 1 point from having a healthy BMI) & I’ll be getting a hba1c result in a couple of weeks. Will post again then. In the meantime, thanks for the replies & good luck on your own journeys... [/QUOTE]
