[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2691751, member: 372207"] Hi [USER=586680]@Richard 2024[/USER] , welcome to the forum. I'm not one to tell you anything about exercise (being a fat couch potato), but assuming you're talking about T2 and not T1 or the other types of diabetes, I'd start here: [URL]https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html[/URL] It's written by one of our members, and it tells you exactly how lots of our T2 members have managed non diabetic numbers for years, with or without exercise. Use a meter to find out how you react to different foods, avoid the ones spiking you. All carbs turn to glucose in the body. How much of them you can handle is only to be found out by testing. As a T1 with insulin resistance, more intensive exercise raises my BG. I can inject insulin for this, which works pretty well. Except, my weekly intensive [S]swim [/S] (edit, this should have said gym, not swim) session is followed by a short cold swim in open water, which drops me like a stone, especially if I have active insulin on board because of the gym. Any thoughts on how to tackle this best? Also, with the water getting warmer, swims will be getting longer, I'll be farther away from my diabetes stuff, so hypos might become more of a threatening issue. I have some thoughts about staying safe while still enjoying my swims, but with Diabetes Management as one of your specialist qualifications, you might have some ideas I haven't thought of before. Any thoughts are welcome to me. :) [/QUOTE]
