Hi there,
I have noticed that my blood sugar control has not been very good lately, which I think I due to my good habits slipping. My question is, once you have got back on the straight and narrow, how long can it take to see improvement in blood sugar? I just went for an hour long walk after a lunch of soup and my sugar was still 6.4 on my return.

Thank you in advance.

There are many other benefits to be gained from taking a 60min walk that can't be measured. Beneficial to mind, cardio-vascular system, release of endorphins etc. BG of 6.4 after a meal is pretty good. I think you're being a little hard on yourself.
 
I don't think 6.4 sounds to bad an hour after lunch and a walk I don't know what others would think though
 
Thank you that is most reassuring for you to say, I will not worry too much............

Feel a bit silly now!
 
Simply Awesome I'm sure you will see your numbers right where you want them in no time

keep us updated on how its going, I'm already waiting for next update
 
Tweety don't feel silly at least u asked instead of worrying yourself. I love walking As said above 6.4 1hr after eating is excellent. I bet ur glad to be back in control.

Thank you both. Yes, I love walking, it helps me feel better. Walked to doctors for review so done some today
Feel a lot better today. Nurse has reassured me I am doing fine. However, I have gained a stone since my last review - how did I not notice that?
Well, I know what I've got to do and I know it works. No sweet treats since yesterday..........Salmon salad for lunch
Thank you for your support, it has really helped.
