[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2678086, member: 517579"] Hi and welcome. If my experience is anything to go by you may end up focusing on diet. I found that eliminating almost all carbs from my diet produced a very quick drop in blood glucose, followed up by a fair amount of weight loss - over 30 kg so far. Wholemeal etc made/makes no difference - it's all carbs and it all is digested to glucose. My BG was normal long before I started any exercise. I'd lost two thirds of the weight by then as well. I think exercise is great for feeling good and getting a bit fitter, but it wasn't a factor for BG or weight loss for me. The thing is that we're all different, and may well react slightly differently. I'd really recommend using a glucose meter, testing before you eat and two hours after. That will show you how well your system deals with carbs (if any) in what you ate. Best of luck - this foum is a great resource. [/QUOTE]
