Great. Keep in touch. Let us know how you get on
Great. Keep in touch. Let us know how you get onWow - saw the headline and had to read - this is huge.
Type 2 since Oct 2015
fanatical about diet and exercise
weight loss so far 90lbs (and 10 inches off the waist)
Walked the Loch Ness marathon (7hrs 24) and fanatical about measuring. I'm a science graduate
And I have my own gym - and treadmill!
I'm going to try this interval walking starting on Saturday morning. I will let you know my results at the end of each week
I totally agree about exercise, if my BG spikes above 12 2 hours after eating I simply use the exercise bike for about half an hours hard pedalling to reduce my BG to about 8.
I have been having trouble with high morning readings, pre bed 6.5 and morning 10-11. This morning I slept through my alarm and had to rush to work. I walk and it's about a mile. After alternately hurtling along and slowing to recover my breath I took a reading at my destination and to my surprise it was 9.1. Maybe it's a coincidence but I think I'll do a little experimenting on the basis of this thread. Thanks for the info.
Hi @Southbeds,I think you need to look at your diet with high readings like that
Hi @Southbeds,
I figure that whenever people are motivated to monitor and try to make improvements to their blood glucose levels then it should be applauded. Blood glucose management isn't as straightforward as watching what you eat - the liver has a nasty habit messing up what would otherwise be a blood glucose reading in the 'normal' range. That's great if you are able to always keep your BGs in range - long may it continue. For anyone who isn't able to do this however, you know what to do so just keep the faith and keep trying.
I beg to differ ,it is as straightforward as watching what you eat.if you are eating the wrong food you are in big trouble,you can not outrun a bad diet
Hello Southbeds, The reason my levels are now between 6 and 7 on average is that I have been looking at my diet. The morning readings have been an anomaly and the fact is that adding this form of exercise to my arsenal of low carb, and medication might beat that pesky hurdle.I think you need to look at your diet with high readings like that
I started - just to let you knowBrilliant!
Yes your right it been around a long timeRemember being taught this when I was a boy scout. It allowed you to keep up a fast pace over a long distance. Run for so many steps then walk for the same number. Too long ago to remember how many steps. It's also recommended in Michael Moseley's Book, The 8 week Blood Sugar Diet.
When I was newly diagnosed and doing intensive testing I had a baked potato with baked beans and my BG spiked to 12.5! That was the last time I had that particular mealNever had a BG spike 12, I would worry and change what I was eating
Yes! In Brownies too. Scout's Pace !!Remember being taught this when I was a boy scout. It allowed you to keep up a fast pace over a long distance.
