[QUOTE="Skinny43, post: 2160653, member: 516352"] Last week the nurse called and broke the news with hba1c of 44. I was kind of expecting this day because I had gestational diabetes 3 years ago. However It still struck me. Determined to do something about it before it’s too late. The nurse suggested there wasn’t much I could do because I am so skinny (bmi 19-20) I can’t lose much weight. Losing weight is usually the best thing to reverse prediabetes. My situation is probably mostly caused by genetic. What I’m left with is diet control. I do eat a fair amount of carbohydrates normally. I’ve cut down carbs and can notice a big difference in the 2 hour glucose reading. What’s my odd of delaying type 2 by diet control only (without big weight loss)? However I do love exercise and am a big fan of running (ran a couple of half marathons). I read different opinions on the time of exercise and effect of it on blood sugar. Some say exercise on empty stomach will increase blood sugar and you should exercise 1 hour after meal. Some say it’s better to exercise before breakfast. I’m all confused as to when to do my running. I have done both before and after meal and it doesn’t seem to make a difference on the glucose reading. Does anybody have any experience? In certainly don’t want to do it the wrong time and make the whole thing worse! So in summary - diet makes a big difference 6-9.5 after meal but not exercise. Is this normal? Best time of exercise? Have I been doing it wrong by mainly running on empty stomach? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
