[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2107450, member: 345386"] [USER=496579]@ElNevera[/USER] - Sorry to come late to your thread. You've had a lot of information to take on board here, and of course, you need to find your own way of "skinning this particular cat". Whatever you do, it needs to be sustainable for you, as it'll likely take some time for your feet to reciver from their Charcot and other ailments. A while ago now, I was a very good presentation by a researcher from the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre, at Leicester, talking about work he had recently (at the time) had published. His area of expertise is exercise, and this piece of work was exercise in people living with diabetes. This particlar research centre has the most incredible gym facilities and she loads of gizmos, but Joe's work wasn't involving any of that. His research was looking at just plain bearking up sedentary periods.

Allegedly, the improvement in insulin sensitivty isn't hugely complicated. It's the "effort"of mbilising the large muscle groups, to actually perform the standing task that largely does it. After Joe's presentation, I set my activity tracker to alarm if I'd been sedentary more than 90 minutes. At 60 minutes it was driving me insane, but at 90 there was a far better chance I'd have done "somthing" in the intervening period. I'm fortunate to have trouble free feet, but these days, I just do things like park further away from the supermarket entrance, park a little further out of town when shopping, and if I'm downstairs and need to visit the loo, I'll go upstairs, and vice versa. It all helps. On the downside, I seem to have fallen into the job of near full-time tea monitor! I think what I'm trying to say is that you don't have to become a gym bunny or marathon runner to move about a bit more. Of course, healing your feet is of paramount importantce, so consulting with whoever helps you look after those is important if you're considering changing your activity levels. [/QUOTE]
