[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1545607, member: 429870"] I can't advise from personal experience, but I am struggling with this myself and came across the following, with some useful info. on the value of brief post-meal exercise: [URL]https://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-diabetes/Enjoy-food/Eating-with-diabetes/Out-and-about/Sports-nutrition-and-Type-2-diabetes/[/URL] I was pleased to see that just 10 minutes after meals can do great things. I have been trying to do 20 minutes after meals, but since I also exercise for longer periods at other times of most days I am finding this very time-consuming and tiring. 10 minutes x 3 times a day seems to me a lot more sustainable. As regards weight training, I do this and have read that it is good, but not as good as aerobic training for diabetics. However I have a diabetic friend at my gym who only trains with weights and refuses most aerobic activity. His GP is wowed by his results. (He also has developed a terrific body!) However, he also seems to eat practically nothing except tinned mackerel and kale!!! [/QUOTE]
