[QUOTE="jackois, post: 1942317, member: 99684"] Low impact exercise, walking, gardening, golf and the like always have a lowering effect my my blood sugar. To the point whereby, having had 40 grams of carb for breakfast can be dealt with by an 40 minute stroll. I'll, often, take myself off for a 10 minute walk if I mis-calculate my rapid acting,rather than a correction dose. It can be a nuisance when playing a round of golf as I need to constantly top up with snacks to avoid low blood sugars... and erratic golf as a consequence. Higher impact exercise usually raises my sugars initially due to glucogen demand from the muscles initially, followed by a drop after exercise is finished as the glucogen supply is replenished. You aren't alone and may find it worth seeing if the effect from mowing the lawn has the same effect with just walking. [/QUOTE]
