[QUOTE="Living-by-the-beach, post: 1357910, member: 128654"] I'm picking up this thread here because I've started cycling each and every day and doing about 18 miles since September 2016. (pseudo mimicking Geoff Whitington) I've suffered from neuropathy which gets bad when my numbers are high. When I first started doing these daily rides I found that after about 10-12 miles my feet would feel good. By the time I got home my feet would feel wonderful for the rest of the day. I'd get indoors and eat an apple drink lots of water. I've assumed that my somewhat extreme level of exercise had lowered my glucose levels, so I'd have a peaceful nights sleep. Normally I arrive home close to dusk. What's happened recently is interesting. I'm about 4 months into this regime and now I felt that my feet feel better after only pedaling only 2-3 miles. Can I personally be improving my insulin resistance? I'm not going to give up on my regime and I'm thinking of getting myself a Recumbent bike to become even more aggressive with less of the issues that come with a conventional upright diamond style bike frame. I emailed Anthony Whitington [URL='http://www.fixingdad.com']www.fixingdad.com[/URL] to get some feedback about his father's biking habits. Geoff could barely ride about 2-3 miles when he first started his journey, yet within a few months was riding 50+ mile rides. They were strict on his diet too and did 90 minute post prandials to figure out what meals spiked his BGs, then avoided those foods there after.. From the feedback I got its clear to me if I can cycle longer distances with out the pain of a bike seat up my ar*e wrist pain back pain, knee pains I'll soon be getting better insulin sensitivity faster. I 'm stingy on my test strips so I tested on Friday and today On Friday 13th at 108mg/dl and today 100mg/dl Jan 16th. This 100 mg/dl test is what's caused me to post this progress report.. FWIW, I'm doing no metformin no drugs only vitamin b complexes and such like. No prescribed medications whatsoever.. I'll keep you all posted.. LBB [/QUOTE]
