[QUOTE="ert, post: 2065739, member: 504712"] I've just realised my favourite study is a type 1 study: Resistance Versus Aerobic Exercise, but as I'm not injecting insulin, and neither are you it's still relevant to trial. Of particular interest is figure 1. I've tried running intervals for 50 minutes and found that although there is an initial decrease in blood sugar, I end up with a recovery spike afterwards, whereas weights (and shorter cardio) decrease my blood sugars over time. (Also, shown in figure 1.) This study suggested the 3 x 8 weights to exhaustion. Every other weights program I've tried seems to spike my blood sugars. [URL]http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/36/3/537[/URL] To monitor progress, I use body fat callipers and a boditrax machine for internal body fat and muscle percentage (using an electrical pulse to measure impedance). A word of warning my GP and specialist think the boditrax machine is a gimmick, but as I get repeatable results, I believe that this has a scientific value. Interestingly enough, on diagnosis, although my skin folds were and are a low 12.5% body fat, my boditrax said I was hidden obese.
