[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2693164, member: 85785"] Hi and welcome to our forum. I think the first thing is, we are all individuals. And what works for one may not work for someone else. And for those like me, only a certain level of exercise is possible, not because of not being able to but because of the consequences. Having your energy levels supported by either natural resources such as glucogenisis or by replenishment as you suggest could cause a heightened level of BG levels that causes symptoms. And a further imbalance in the hba1c levels, if done too often and too severely. The other primary concern is the fuelling up before exercise. If carbs and sugars are the trigger for the heightened spikes, which are unhealthy for many T2s over time. Then whatever is gained from exercise is outweighed by the carrbing up before. T2s should not use gels or foodstuffs that are concentrated, even the majority of shakes, of many descriptions are too much for them. Having rollercoaster BG levels is not healthy for T2s. The answer to how to use exercise and dietary control, is similar to using trial and error. And it must be tailored to what that person is capable of doing without causing further harm to them. Hopefully this will raise more questions about how to help diabetic patients. [/QUOTE]
