[QUOTE="Baruney, post: 957893, member: 146303"] Hola [USER=197666]@MauraH[/USER] You're going to have to treat exercise as a bit of an experiment as you are having to experiment with what diet you can tolerate. I don't know your particular circumstances but you say that even moderate exercise raises your bs. Well one man's moderate is another woman's intense! It's all down to what heart rate zone you are exercising in. So although you may believe that you are exercising gently you might not be. The only way to tell is to buy an inexpensive (not 'cheap') heart rate monitor and work out your maximum heart rate and examine what heart rate zone you are working in. It may all seem a bit complicated at first but it isn't. It is the same as working out what you can or can't eat - well what is good for your bloods or not. For example if you find that your bs goes up after a particular exercise you may find that it 'spikes' down afterwards or you may find that your bs lowers over a more lengthy period of time for eg your fasting levels show a downward trend - and that's the one that's important. Afraid to say that the advice of t2s is too generic like its a magic bullet and so easy to say by hcps. You know run up and down the stairs 10 times, walk briskly for 20 mins half hour. You'll only work out what is right for you by experiment. Myself hoovering sends my bs stratospheric and shopping is the same stress as experienced as a good pilot but I'm more than happy to plod along for a marathon! Find what you like to do and test. All the best. Baruney. [/QUOTE]
