[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2136172, member: 365308"] Hi Cana. Its good that you like exercising and are getting back into it. I am type 1 but I am a trainer so here's my 2p's worth: 1) snacking is unnecessary for a type 2. Eat when you are hungry afterwards with whatever you would normally do to 'break fast' ! Hopefully something low carb or wait until lunch? 2) Not sure what dvds you are doing but if they are aerobic then they are likely to use up stored glucose in your muscles (glycogen) with the effect that your body then uses glucose from your food or converts body fat or protein to re fill those muscles depending on how hard and how long you've worked! 3) Longer term, building more muscle may be really useful though in order for your metabolism to work well and efficiently burn up whatever glucose you are eating (bread, pasta, potatoes as well as sugars) so if you did have some dumb bells or ketle bells these could be useful. 4) Doing weights can temporarily spike bgs but you should not worry about this because for the reasons above you will become more insulin sensitive and do not worry about DP as this is a normal thing whereas type 2 represents an overall problem with controlling blood glucose levels during the day. 5) Test on waking and just after exercise bearing in mind the above points i.e. an hour of Davina or whoever will take your sugars down but if you do some weights the spike may only be temporary and the muscle gain will help. Hope you enjoy your new regime! [/QUOTE]
