[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 425998, member: 55568"] Exercise can raise blood glucose levels even after eating. It depends on many factors including the type of exercise, how vigorous etc. For most type 2s, these short term increases are not a problem. For most type 2s who are not strongly medicated, the benefit of exercise is to improve cardio vascular function, help lose a bit of weight, though you have to work very hard for that, and to improve your digestive metabolism. The latter is something not often discussed but exercise, which may be a brisk walk, releases hormones which in turn trigger the production of enzymes. Some of these enzymes reduce the lipoproteins in the blood. The effect of the exercise peaks at 12 hours and tails off after 24 hours hence the advice to exercise once per day. I tend to do 2 x 15 mins. Doing more might make me 'fitter', but it won't keep on improving the digestive element. About 1500 kcals of exercise per week achieves maximum benefit for this aspect. It doesn't really matter when you exercise, the point is to keep it regular. Type 1 diabetics however, or those type 2s who are strongly medicated, have to be more careful as they have to calculate the amount they need to compensate for the exercise. But, as you can imagine, whilst many of us are thinking of a good walk as exercise, some of these guys are running half marathons or cycling for two or three hours. It's a different kettle of fish. I was listening to one on the radio who likes rowing. So do I. I have a rower in the spare bedroom. He however, has just rowed accross the Channel. My diabetes nurse said I should adopt a more active lifestyle and include more exercise: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QvNSIURj-c]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QvNSIURj-c[/url] [/QUOTE]
