[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 34228, member: 12578"] On this forum, I seem to see an awful lot about carbs, a little about medication and very little indeed about what I see as the third part of the equation: exercise. I've several times read along the lines, well a type 1 can take insulin a type 2 can't do anything if their blood sugar is high I'm a type 1 and exercise plays a huge part in keeping my BS at a low level. By exercise, I mean a long hilly walk, running, cycling rather than yoga/ pilates type (which I also do but doesn't normally seem to affect BS readings by much). If I go for more than a couple of days without , then my BS levels start creeping up. The odd time when I have unexceptedly high BS, if I can I'll go for a run, use a static bicycle or (recently) hula hoop on the wii fit to reduce them rather than using an insulin correction dose. If I have a larger than normal meal, then I'll deliberately plan a walk after. It works for me. I'm sure I'm not the only one. What do others do, and perhaps more to the point, how effective is it for you? [/QUOTE]
