[QUOTE="REM73, post: 1413507, member: 333567"] Hey Georgia, saw your post and going through similar issues. I was diagnosed last year so only just starting this journey. Thanks for posting this, I've found the replies really useful too! A few things that have helped me Start gentle. Measure glucose before you start and in between each exercise or every 15 mins to get a sense of what is going on as you do it. Remember also to give yourself a pat on the back half way through! Measure again when you finish your session and then maybe after at 30 and 60 mins This is an absolute pain to do and means longer sessions, but I find it really helpful. It then means you can fine tune your glucose levels as you go too. I find dried fruit quite helpful for this as they are small juicy nuggets. Also, starting to measure less during the gym sessions (after a couple of months) as I now know what's happening as I do it. Also, starting to feel the benefit in the rest of life now. That's my tuppence worth Good Luck with it all. R [/QUOTE]
