[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 119215, member: 12578"] I find even a short amount of exercise can lower blood glucose levels immediately , so good for a short term fix. To lower insulin needs overall I find it has to be regular, every other day works well but if I miss two days I find fasting levels rise and I need more insulin for meals. If I exercise eveyday like a ski or backpacking trip then I can reduce insulin by a lot. There was a very small study published this week which concluded that 'Many of the improvements in metabolic health associated with exercise stem largely from the most recent session of exercise, rather than from an increase in 'fitness' per se," That seems to fit in with my experience. Unfortunately you can't 'bank' it. The researcher J Horowitz of the university of Michigan leads a team doing a large amount of work in this area so although it was only a tiny study with 9 subjects it's part of a much bigger research project. see short video about his work [url]http://videos.howstuffworks.com/university-of-michigan/768-exercise-and-insulin-video.htm[/url] [/QUOTE]
