[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 36342, member: 12578"] Hana, I've been thinking about your weight plateau. I'm sure I could'nt follow your methods but I admire your perseverence. Two thoughts one positive, the other perhaps less. 1) Perhaps you have been losing fat recently but putting on heavier muscle. 2) I'm not certain about the science behind this but is it possible that you are eating too little and have gone into starvation mode? But how do you do that safely ? I think it sounds contrary to everything I've read about both exercise and diabetes and perhaps dangerous. Moreover why? 1)Aerobic exercise is more likely to reduce BG, anaerobic may increase it. It may also lessen insulin resistance . 2) I understand that unaccustomed anaerobic exercise, may produce excessive rises in blood pressure, cardiac workload, and pressure within the eye (intraocular pressure). Surely a potential recipe for disaster . 3) Even quite gentle exercise may actually be anaerobic for people unused to exercise. Hence the several short sessions advice by Martin's physiologist. I run regularly run 30 miles plus a week and am quite fit. I usually wear a heart rate monitor and most training is at 60-75% but I do a little interval or hill running at a higher heart rate . Even so, as I am 'at risk' because of age and diabetes the cardiologist wouldn't let me attempt to reach max hr on a stress test, ( I asked because I wanted to find out actual max rather than calculated) stopping it at as soon as it reached 90%.
