[QUOTE="Geordie_P, post: 1657735, member: 343949"] Today I tried a bit of an experiment- an ad hoc experiment that came out of needing to get McDonald's for lunch with the family on a busy day. I did a blood test before eating at 12:00 noon. The result was 5.7. I then ate my McDonald's: I had a 'sharing box', that is 4 nuggets, 2 wings, 2 drumsticks and fries. I had one extra nugget and a bite of fillet o' fish. I had a sip of coca cola (coz I ordered zero, but only realized they'd given me the sugary one when I tasted it) After finishing, I jumped rope for 5 minutes, followed by a 5 minute rest, then 4 minutes followed by a 4 minute rest, then 3, then 2, then 1. I then waited until 2:00 pm and did another test- the result of which was 7.4. My legs are tired, and I won't be in a rush to eat McDonald's again if I'm going to need to work-out like that every time, but I think it's quite encouraging in terms of exercise being useful for blood control. I'd be interested to know if it's more to do with using up the glucose, or stimulating insulin response. [/QUOTE]
