[QUOTE="Sgathach, post: 2248125, member: 519791"] Another thing with exercise is you are used to a certain level. Ie walking all day and working out mucking stalls is normal for you whereas an unfit person may struggle. But if you want to lose more weight and get fitter, you need to do more on top of that. More active muscles means better insulin sensitivity, but if you do the same thing all the time (ie walks, looking after horses) your muscles don't see this as challenge, it's their new normal, they got used to it so no further need for more storage space for your glucose (glycogen i think, in muscle form). Same as for me, I was used to training every day, that was nornal, but I had to up the time and add weight training to see a difference. And now a new exercise like cycling, even though only 45min, completely drops my sugar like nothing else as I'm not used to that yet. It may be very hard for you to find the time on top of everything you do, but have a search for the effects of resistance training or hiit training as well as other exercises you are not doing regularly, like cycling or swimming. This may help to build new muscle/increase muscles and help with insulin sensitivity. [/QUOTE]
